Explanation
The process by which heat is transmitted in liquids and gases by the actual movement of the heated particles is called convection.
Convection occurs only in liquids and gases but not in solids.
It does not occur in solids because the particles in solids cannot freely move about.
Hence transfer of heat in liquids and gases takes place by convection.
