Definition
To transfer heat or particles through a fluid (like air or water) by means of convection, where warmer material rises and cooler material sinks.
Etymology
From Latin 'convectus', past participle of 'convehere' (to carry together), from 'con-' (together) plus 'vehere' (to carry). Scientific term from 19th century physics.
Kelly Says
Convection is why hot air rises in your house and why boiling water creates those swirling patterns—it's also how the Earth's mantle moves and creates plate tectonics!
