Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
A convection current is a circulating flow in a fluid caused by temperature-driven density differences: warmer, less-dense fluid rises while cooler, denser fluid sinks, producing a loop. It’s driven by buoyancy and gravity and occurs in the atmosphere, oceans, Earth's mantle, and heating systems.
