Identify three situations where convection occurs

Answer

• A cup of a steaming hot liquid

• In hot air balloon

• A boiling pot of water

Explanation

In a cup that contains hot liquid such as hot water or hot tea, the hot air rises through convection, thus creating the steam

In a hot air balloon, heated air expands in volume and cause a reduced weight making the balloon to rise through convection.

In a boiling pot of water, the water moves in convectional currents throughout the liquid in the pot.
