Explain how thermal energy is transferred in convection.

Convection is the transfer of heat energy in a fluid. This type of heating is most commonly seen in the kitchen with a boiling liquid. Air in the atmosphere acts as a fluid. ... As the hot air mass rises, the air is replaced by the surrounding cooler, more dense air, what we feel as wind.
