There are three basic heat transfer mechanisms: Conduction, Convection and
Radiation. Heat transfer in opaque solids is just by Conduction. In gases and
liquids all three mechanism can contribute to heat transfer.
The Convection Mechanism of Heat Transfer is the transportation of heat by
the bulk motion of the fluid. If this motion is produced by buoyancy effects that
arise from the fluid having different temperatures (and so different densities) at different points, it is called Natural Convection. If the motion of the fluid is produced by a pressure gradient (like a fluid been forced to flow through a heated pipe),
the heat convection mechanism is called Forced Convection Heat Transfer.

Convection is the movement of gases or liquids from a cooler spot to a warmer spot.
It is the process of transfer of heat from one place to other with actual movement of heated particles. Convention of heat take place in fluids and gases .

convection
Convection is the type of heat transfer that occurs only in gases or liquids. It involves the movement of the heated fluid itself, which carries heat energy from one place to another.
When molecules in liquids and gases are heated they move faster
The transfer of heat by the movement of particles in fluids is called convection. As fluids are heated, their particles move, creating currents that transfer heat from one place to another. This process is commonly observed in liquids and gases.
after atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated, they sink?
This process is called convection. It occurs when heated molecules in liquids or gases move from one place to another, transferring heat energy with them. Convection is a common mechanism for heat transfer in fluids such as air and water.
Convection currents transfer heat in fluids such as liquids and gases, which are in the liquid and gas states of matter. These currents occur due to the movement of the fluid particles as they become less dense and rise when heated, then cool and sink to create a continuous circulation that transfers heat.
Convection is the type of heat transfer that involves the movement of liquids or gases. It occurs when the warmer fluid rises and the cooler fluid sinks, creating a circulating flow that transfers heat.
Both liquids and gases can transfer heat, but they do so in different ways. Liquids transfer heat through the process of convection, where heated particles rise and cooler particles sink. Gases can transfer heat through convection as well, but they can also transfer heat through radiation and conduction.
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases
The main type of heat transfer in liquids and gases is convection. Convection occurs when heat is transferred through the movement of the fluid itself, carrying heat from one location to another.
Heat transfer during convection occurs through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). As the fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, carrying heat energy with it. This movement creates a convection current, transferring heat from the hotter regions to the cooler regions.
