Question 6 • Physics

Which describes the movement of a fluid during convection?

Answer
A
Warm and cool fluids rise.
B
Warm fluid rises and cool fluid sinks.
C
Warm and cool fluids sink.
D
Warm fluid sinks and cool fluid rises.

Explanation

During convection, heating makes fluid particles move farther apart, so the warm fluid becomes less dense and rises. Cooler fluid is denser, so it sinks to take its place. Therefore, “Warm fluid rises and cool fluid sinks” describes convection.
