Why does hot air rise from pavement on a hot summer day?

A. Due to radiation
B. Due to conduction
C. Due to convection
D. Due to insulation

1 answer

The correct answer is C. Due to convection.

On a hot summer day, the pavement heats up and warms the air directly above it. As the air temperature increases, the air molecules become less dense and rise, creating convection currents. This process is what causes hot air to rise from the pavement.
