Convection — Quiz

Question 9 • Physical Science

Where could convection currents form?

Answer
A
in the atmosphere
B
on a pavement
C
in a sand dune
D
in outer space

Explanation

Convection currents form when warmer, less dense parts of a fluid rise and cooler, denser parts sink. Air in the atmosphere is a fluid, so it can circulate in convection currents. Pavement and sand are solids, and outer space has too little matter for convection currents to form.
