Question 13 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Which best describes convection?

Answer
A
It relies on the collision of particles within or between substances.
B
It occurs in solids, liquids, or gases that are heated.
C
It results when portions of a liquid cool and rise.
D
It is driven by temperature differences within a fluid.

Explanation

Convection transfers heat through the movement of a fluid, such as a liquid or gas. Temperature differences create density differences, causing warmer, less-dense fluid to rise and cooler, denser fluid to sink. So the best description is that convection is driven by temperature differences within a fluid.
