Hi!
Basically convection is the transfer of thermal energy through fluids. Examples would be air and water.

What does a convection wave look like?
Convection waves are invisible: You can't see them.
What are some examles of convection?
A convection cell churning near mid-ocean ridges.
How is density involved in convection?
In convection less molecules occupy large volume as in air to reduce the density.
Is NOT an example of convection?
Radiation
What makes conduction and convection not possible?
Lack of a flow medium will inhibit conduction and convection.
Who discovered the idea of plate tectonics and convection currents?
alfred wagner
Heat convection does not occur in solids because?
solids have particles that are closely packed together and cannot move freely, which inhibits the transfer of heat through convection. Convection relies on the movement of particles to transfer heat, and in solids, this movement is limited. Therefore, heat transfer in solids primarily occurs through conduction.
Can a convection-microwave save energy?
I'm looking for the exact same answer! I HAVE NO IDEA!!! xx
Are convection microwaves better for a kitchen?
Replacing a microwave with a convection microwave is an excellent idea. It allows you to cook items as if they were in a conventional oven which can be handy if you don't want to heat up the house or you need extra space to cook in.
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?
Convection
Is a convection current the same as a 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.
What is the scientific name for convection?
The scientific name for convection is "convection."
The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid?
convection
What is the Difference in normal convection and forced convection?
Normal convection occurs naturally due to temperature differences, while forced convection is induced by external means such as fans or pumps. Forced convection typically has higher heat transfer rates compared to natural convection due to the enhanced fluid motion generated by the external force.
What are the different types of convection?
The three main types of convection are natural convection, forced convection, and mixed convection. Natural convection occurs due to density differences caused by temperature variations. Forced convection involves the use of external means like fans or pumps to enhance fluid movement. Mixed convection combines both natural and forced convection mechanisms.
Is newt boiling in a hot cauldron convection conduction or radiation?
Conduction
Why does convection take place in the atmosphere?
Convection occurs in the atmosphere due to temperature differences between the Earth's surface and the air above it. As the Sun heats the surface, the air near the surface becomes warmer and less dense, causing it to rise. This creates vertical air currents and leads to the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
