URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!Which are examples of convection currents? Check all that apply.
Aloiza [94]
I believe a pot of water that is being heated by a electric burner. This is because the warmer water moves to the top and the cooler water moves down to the bottom of the pot. This causes a circular motion. The next example of convection heat is a hot air ballon rising and falling in the atmosphere. A radiator is also because the hot air is drawn out the top and the cooler air is drawn to the bottom.
