An interesting question. The answer is yes but you would have to look for a very, very long time to see evidence of this happening - The example I would point to is the convection driving the plate tectonic system in the Earth. This is moving the continents of Europe and America apart at a rate of about 2 cm a year.
The fact is that, given enough time, nothing is actually solid - have you ever played with silly putty? if you role it into a ball it will bounce, if you pull it hard it will break, if you pull it slowly it will stretch. It is the same with solids, given enough time they will 'flow' and deform in response to a force.
Thus on human time scales, solids do not undergo convection, but on geological time scales they doundergo convection.
I think you mean convection and conduction. The first is the transfer of energy through a fluid and the second through a solid. The third way, through a vacuum, is radiation.
The three types of energy transfers are: Conduction, the transfer by energy moving through a solid; Convection, the transfer of energy in a gas or a liquid; and Radiation, the transfer of energy through space. Conduction is how a stove warms the contents of a pan. As the pan heats up, the material inside in contact with the pan gets warm. Convection is what happens when a heater warms the air around it, causing it to rise, which creates lower pressure near the heat source, causing cooler air to flow in. Convection is a result of the differences in density resulting from differences in temperature. Convection does not work in a zero gravity environment. Radiation is how the Sun warms the Earth. Energy travels through empty space until it strikes the Earth, causing it to warm.
The only way to transfer heat in a vacuum is through radiation. Heat transfer by convection and conduction require a medium, such as air or a solid, to transfer energy. In a vacuum, radiation is the only method by which heat can move.
Conduction is the type of energy transfer that occurs when heat is transferred through matter by molecular activity. In this process, the energy is passed from one molecule to the next through direct contact.
No, heat transfer by convection requires the movement of fluids to transfer heat. Since solids do not have the ability to flow like fluids, heat transfer by convection does not typically occur in solids. Heat transfer in solids usually occurs through conduction, where heat is transferred through the vibration of particles.

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, while conduction is the transfer of heat through a solid material, and convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids. Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat, while conduction and convection do.
There are three types of transferrable energy: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction- heat that moves from solid object to solid object by physical means. Convection- heat that moves about a gaseous object (think about boiling water) Radiation- light energy that can travel through space and needs no object to transfer through. The correct answer for this question would be radiation.
Conduction and convection require a medium (such as a solid or fluid) to transfer heat, while radiation does not need a medium and can transfer heat through electromagnetic waves.
Heat conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by direct contact between particles, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. In conduction, heat is transferred through a solid material, while in convection, heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid or gas.
tempaure is the measure of average kinetic energy. things with high temperatures have molecules moving at high speeds. when heat is transferred, the kinetic energy between molecules are being dispursed and evenly distributed through the fluid, solid or atmosphere

Energy is conducted through a solid object via the transfer of vibrations between neighboring particles. When energy is applied to one end of a solid object, it causes particles to vibrate, passing on the energy to adjacent particles. This transfer of energy through vibrations is known as conduction.
