There is more than one way to heat water, so I would not apply this to all situations, but in general, when you heat water you create convection currents which cause the hotter water to mix in with the colder water.
The method by which heat travels through a liquid and a gas is called convection. It involves the transfer of heat by the movement of the heated substance itself, such as the rising of hot air or water and the sinking of cooler air or water.
Heat travels faster in water when moving upwards because of the natural convection currents created by differences in water temperature. As water near the heat source warms up, it becomes less dense and rises, carrying heat with it. In contrast, heat traveling downwards must overcome the resistance of colder, denser water above, slowing down its transmission.
Heat travels through water primarily by a process called conduction, where energy is transferred through direct contact between particles. When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and start moving faster, transferring heat to adjacent molecules. Convection, where warmer water rises and cooler water sinks, also plays a role in distributing heat throughout the water.
The method of heat transfer responsible for cooling the water and heating up the radiator as the water flows through it is convection.
Heat travels through conduction, convection, and radiation. In solids, heat primarily travels through conduction at a speed that depends on the material's thermal conductivity. However, in fluids like air or water, heat can also be transferred through convection.

convection
radiation, this is the only one that travels in a vacuum
How fast heat travels depends upon which method it uses to travel (conduction/ convection/radiation) and what it is travelling through (metal/air/water etc.). heat travels much more quickly through metal because metals are good thermal conductors.
The way heat travels through water is called conduction. This process occurs when heat energy is transferred from one part of the water to another by direct contact.

Capillarity
Sound doesn't travel in heat. It travels in a physical medium.
Yes, when heat travels by convection the energy is transferred by the circulation of a heated fluid, such as air or water.

Heat travels in all of these ways.
