Question 3 • Physical Science

In which of these can convection not occur?

Answer
A
fluids
B
gases
C
solids
D
liquids

Explanation

Convection transfers heat through the bulk movement of matter, so it occurs in fluids such as liquids and gases. The particles in a solid are fixed in place and cannot flow to carry heat by convection. Therefore, convection cannot occur in solids.
