Convection Summary

GCSE Physics

Convection occurs in gases and liquids.

GCSE Physics

Hot fluids rise, cold fluids fall.

GCSE Physics

Convection currents occur because heat is lost from the rising fluid, cooling it down.

GCSE Physics

The whole fluid will rise in temperature as a result of mixing caused by convection currents.
