How does heat energy move by convection when a cook heats a pot of water?

A.

Heat energy moves from the air into particles of water that are touching air.

B.

Particles at the bottom of the water carry heat energy to the top of the water.

C.

Heat energy moves from the bottom of the pot into nearby particles of water.

D.

Particles from the water carry heat energy to the particles of air over the water.

He answer is B: Particles at the bottom of the water carry heat energy to the top of the water

Frankie Thornton · Answer 2

The correct choice is

B. Particles at the bottom of the water carry heat energy to the top of the water.

when pot of water is heater, the bottom of pot gets heated. the particles of water in contact with the bottom of the pot gets heat through conduction. after getting heat, these particles of water near the bottom, move away towards top and their position is taken by cooler particles from top. that way heat travels
