Q

What happens to the particles in convection

A

When a fluid is heated the particles move faster and spread out from eachother. Thid makes the warm fluid less demse. The less dense fluid rises where as because the cooler fluid is more dense it sinks. The cooler fluid then heats up and rises. This created a circular motion called a convection current.
