- Q1
What is convection? _________________________________________________________
movement caused within a fluid due to heat transfer.
movement caused within a fluid due to cold moving up
movement caused within a fluid due to heat moving down
the action of heat and cold
120s - Q2
In convection, due to gravity, cooler fluids will ____
