1) Boiling water in a pot — hot water from the bottom rises, cooler water descends, forming convection currents that mix the liquid.
2) Atmospheric convection (thermals) — sun‑heated ground warms air that rises, cools aloft and sinks elsewhere, driving wind, cloud formation and sea/land breezes.
3) Mantle convection in Earth — slow motion of hot, buoyant rock upward and cooler rock sinking drives plate tectonics and volcanic activity.
