2 What materials allow convection to take place?

Materials that allow convection to take place are usually fluids or gases, as they can easily move and transfer heat through the process of convection. Solids can also participate in convection to a lesser extent, especially if they have some degree of flexibility or ability to transmit heat through them. In general, materials that can move or flow are more likely to enable convection.


Which layer of the earth does convection take place in?

Convection takes place in the Earth's mantle, which is the layer of hot, semi-solid rock located between the crust and the outer core. Heat from the Earth's core drives convection currents in the mantle, causing the movement of tectonic plates.


Why does convection take place in the atmosphere?

Convection occurs in the atmosphere due to temperature differences between the Earth's surface and the air above it. As the Sun heats the surface, the air near the surface becomes warmer and less dense, causing it to rise. This creates vertical air currents and leads to the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
