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

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

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 this air warms, it becomes less dense and rises, allowing cooler air to move in and take its place, creating a convection current.
