Rising steam from the cup of cocoa.
Convection is heat transfer by the bulk movement of a fluid (liquid or gas). The hot air and water vapor rising from the cup are carried upward by natural convection currents. (Touching the handle is conduction; stirring/pouring are mechanical mixing, not natural convective heat transfer.)
