Solution

Explanation:

Convection: Convection is a method of heat transfer that involves molecules within liquids such as gases and liquid, It is best depicted by melting ice, Snow melts as heat moves from the air to the ice.

  1. If we leave ice on the table, it will melt after a while.
  2. The reason for this is that the surrounding area has become cold.
  3. Thus, cold transfer refers to the exchange of heat or thermal energy between physical systems.
  4. When there is a difference in temperature between two bodies, the ice is transferred from the colder body to the warmer body.

Hence, ice melting is an example of convection.
