ProfessorConvection is transferred through the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by differences in temperature. As the fluid heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser fluid sinks. This creates a circulating pattern that transfers heat energy throughout the fluid.

When heat is transferred in gases it is called?
convection.
When the heater blows hot air around to heat your house this is an example of heat being transferred by?
Convection. Heat is transferred through the circulation of warm air from the heater to the surrounding space, creating a convection current that warms up the room.
In what 3 ways can energy be transferred?
Energy can be transferred through conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between materials. It can also be transferred through convection, where heat is transferred through the movement of fluids. Lastly, energy can be transferred through radiation, where heat is emitted as electromagnetic waves.
Three ways by which heat is transferred?
Heat can be transferred through conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between materials; convection, where heat is transferred through the movement of fluids or gases; and radiation, where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves without the need for a medium.
Heat transferred by the movement of currents in a fluid is called?
Convection.
