because the process requires the formation of currents which is only possible in fluids (i.e solids and liquids). It is not possible for currents to develop in solids for the simple reason that the molecules in a solid are not free to move around and they are contained in their fixed positions.

Does convention occurs in solids?
Convection of mass cannot take place in solids, since neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion can take place in solids. Diffusion of heat can take place in solids, but is referred to separately in that case as heat convection.
How is energy transferred through convection.?
by The movement of heated particles of a gas or a liquid. convection cannot take place in solids because solids have fixed shape. particles like Pizza
When Heat convection occurs in gases and liquids heat conviction does not occur in solids because solids are unable to?
..to flow as easily. A malleable (space between particles) structure is need for convection to take place.
Explain why conduction and convection cannot take place in an airless vacuum like in outer space?
they have no energy
Convection cannot take place in a solid because the particles can only vibrate and not move from one place to another?
Sure there can be conduction, but quite often, most of the heat will be transposrted by convection, not conduction.

What method heat transfer can take place through solids liquids gases?
Convection

Why does transfer of heat not take place in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat does take place in fluids. In fact it can take place more efficiently in fluids than in solids because convection is possible in fluids.
Why does convection take place in the atmosphere?
Convection take place because of convection currents

What materials does thermal transfer by convection take place in?
Convection
When does convection take place?
convection takas place wen iron piece is heated
Which layer of the earth does convection take place in?
convection takes place in the outer core......... i think
