What happens when convection happens?
During convection, heat transfer occurs through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) due to differences in temperature and density. As a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, displacing cooler, denser fluid which sinks. This creates a cycle of movement that helps distribute heat throughout the fluid.
What happen to the density of a fluid it warms up?
As a fluid warms up, its density decreases. This is because the particles in the fluid gain kinetic energy and move further apart, causing the fluid to expand and become less dense.
How density related to sinking and floating?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Objects with higher density than the fluid they are in will sink, as they are heavier than the fluid. Objects with lower density than the fluid will float, as they are lighter and are buoyed up by the fluid.
Does the density of an object increase or decrease when heated?
When an object is heated, its atoms vibrate faster and take up more space. This leads to a decrease in density, as the mass stays the same but the volume increases.
What does density have to do with convection?
Things with a lower density will float on things with a higher density. If you take a fluid (air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is not heated. Get it? Hope you do!
What happens when the volume of a fluid is heated at the bottom?
When the volume of a fluid is heated at the bottom, the molecules near the heat source gain energy and move faster, which causes them to spread out. This leads to a decrease in density of the fluid at the bottom and results in buoyancy forces driving fluid circulation, known as convection.

What happens to particals when heated up?
They vibrate
What happens to the wire when heated?
it goes up
What happens to molecules in a heated fluid?
In a heated fluid, molecules gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This increased movement results in the expansion of the fluid, as the molecules move apart from each other. Additionally, the increased temperature can lead to changes in the physical state of the fluid, such as boiling or evaporation.
What happened with density of gases on heating?
As gases are heated up, its volume increases, resulting in a decrease of density.
What happen to the density of a fluid it warms up?
As a fluid warms up, its density decreases. This is because the particles in the fluid gain kinetic energy and move further apart, causing the fluid to expand and become less dense.
How is heat transferred into a fluid?
When a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated, it expands. The heated fluid is therefore less dense than the fluid around it, so it rises.Colder fluid then sinks down to replace it and this sets up a movement of fluid called a CONVECTION CURRENT.
How density related to sinking and floating?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Objects with higher density than the fluid they are in will sink, as they are heavier than the fluid. Objects with lower density than the fluid will float, as they are lighter and are buoyed up by the fluid.
What happens to leaves when heated?
they shrink and shrivel up
What happens to pressure in a metal spray when heated up?
It heats up
