Q: How is thermal energy transferred during convection?

Flexi Says:

• Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through a fluid. Thermal energy is always transferred from an area with a higher temperature to an area with a lower temperature.
• Moving particles transfer thermal energy through a fluid by forming convection currents.
• Convection currents move thermal energy through many fluids, including molten rock inside Earth, water in the oceans, and air in the atmosphere.
