Dr. Jeff likely provided an example such as boiling water to illustrate convection. In this example, heat is transferred from the heat source (like a stove) to the water at the bottom of the pot. As the water heats up, it becomes less dense and rises to the top, while the cooler, denser water sinks to the bottom, creating a circular motion known as convection currents. This process effectively distributes heat throughout the entire body of water.
6. What was one example Dr. Jeff gave for Convection? How was the heat transferred?

One example Dr. Jeff gave for convection is boiling water. Heat is transferred from the stove to the water, causing the warmer, less dense water to rise while cooler, denser water sinks, creating convection currents.
