Convection currents form in fluids (liquids and gases) — so of the three, in the atmosphere.
Pavement and sand dunes are solids and don’t develop convection currents inside themselves, though a hot pavement or dune can heat the air above it and produce convection in that air. (Granular materials can show "granular convection" only under special mechanical agitation, not ordinary heating.)
