Correct choices:
- Cold water sinks because it is more dense than warm water.
- Warm water rises because it is less dense than cold water.
Explanation: Convection in fluids is driven by density differences — denser (colder, in ordinary cases) fluid sinks and less dense (warmer) fluid rises. (Note: water has a density anomaly near 4 °C, which is an exception in precise situations.)
