It goes from chemical to kinetic.
Convection is caused by temperature differences, in a gas such as air, which affect the gas density in local areas thus causing movement of the gas, generally upward due to buoyancy of warmer gas compared to the average density. Thus heat from a heating element near the floor of a room can be spread through the room without any forced circulation.

It is called Convection.
convection
It is another name for a convection oven.
A common example of mechanical convection is the movement of air in a room due to a fan or air conditioning system. As the fan or AC unit forces air to circulate, it creates a convection current that helps distribute heat or cool air throughout the space.

The Earth's core.
The mantle is the mechanical layer of Earth that has the most active convection currents. These currents are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates and drive various geological processes on the Earth's surface.
The Earth's core.
The mechanical layer that contains the most convection currents is the asthenosphere, which is part of the upper mantle of the Earth. This semi-fluid layer allows for the movement of tectonic plates above it due to the convection currents generated by the heat from the Earth's core. These currents play a crucial role in driving plate tectonics and influencing geological processes.
Convection typically occurs in two forms: natural convection, driven by buoyancy forces due to temperature differences, and forced convection, driven by external factors like fans or pumps. Natural convection occurs in fluids (liquids and gases) due to density variations caused by temperature gradients, while forced convection involves the use of mechanical devices to circulate the fluid.
The mechanical layer of Earth with the most active convection currents is the asthenosphere. Located beneath the lithosphere in the upper mantle, the asthenosphere consists of semi-fluid rock that allows for the movement of tectonic plates above it. These convection currents in the asthenosphere play a crucial role in the dynamics of plate tectonics, influencing geological processes such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
It goes from chemical to kinetic.
Sound itself does not undergo convection because convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium, such as air, to propagate. However, the medium through which sound travels can be affected by convection currents, which may influence the speed and direction of the sound wave.
The mechanical layer of Earth with the most active convection currents is the asthenosphere. Located just below the lithosphere, the asthenosphere is composed of semi-fluid rock that can flow slowly over geological time. This flow drives the movement of tectonic plates above it, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity. The convection currents in the asthenosphere are crucial for the dynamics of plate tectonics.
