Describe the process of convection of heat.

Solution
The process of transference of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) is called convection.
It can be observed that when water is heated, water near the flame gets hot and starts rising up. On the other hand, cold water moves down from the sides of the flask, towards the source of heat. Then, this water becomes hot and rises up. This process continues till all the water present in the flask gets heated. This process of heat transfer is called convection.
