Heated fluids are less dense than their cooler counterparts. For example, water at 80 degrees F is less dense than water at 75 degrees F. Therefore, because it is less dense, it rises above the cooler fluid. This happens all the time when boiling water. The water at the bottom becomes more heated than the water at the top, and so rises to the top, moving the cooler water to the bottom of the pot, which then becomes heated and pushes the now cooler water that used to be on bottom back to the bottom, restarting the whole process. This is known as convection.

Why particles of solid do not move at all?

Solids do not flow because particles in a solid are so close together and their forces of attraction are so strong that they cannot flow past one another. If you have a 8th grade Science & Technology Textbook, you can look at page 89 in the second paragraph (Explaining Flow Using Particle Theory) and 2nd sentence, which is your answer that you are looking for (Using the particle theory explain why solids do not flow?)


Evaporation using particle theory?

The Particle theory maintains that particles move more rapidly as they get more warm. As the continue to heat up, they become less dense and move even more. As this process continues, the particles expand and separate which changes their state from liquid to gas.
