the direct transfer of heat when one substance touches another
Convection is the primary mode of thermal energy transfer that occurs in fluids. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of the fluid itself, either by natural (due to density differences) or forced (due to external energy input) convection.
Energy cannot escape by convection because convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid particles like air or water. It requires a medium to transfer heat, so in a vacuum or space where there is no medium, convection cannot occur.
This transfer of heat is called convection.
"Convection and conduction are similar because they both transfer energy." "The convection in warm, moist air provides the energy that powers thuderstorms and, on a larger scale, cyclones and hurricanes."
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Thermal energy refers to the internal energy of an object due to its temperature, which can be transferred through conduction or convection.
By convection
Yes. Convection is a type of energy and a convection current is, well, the phrase for its currents. So yeah, convection and convection current are the same.
Convection currents
You don't transfer convection. Rather, convection is a process whereby heat energy is transferred.
Convection is the movement of particles due to a gradient of energy. Heat energy is thus transfered by the moving particles.
Mode of energy transfer in fluids is convection.

covection?
Energy is transferred within the Earth through conduction, convection, and radiation. In the atmosphere, energy is transferred through processes such as convection, advection, and radiation. In the oceans, energy is transferred through currents, waves, and tides, as well as through processes like conduction and convection.
Convection
In a convection current the kinetic energy will most likely be a small part of the total as the rate of flow won't be very high. Most heat transfer in convection will be simply thermal energy transfer, ie from a warmer place to a cooler one.
