the type of current formed in the pot is referred to as a convectional current which forms when the heated fluid rises making the cool fluid descend the same happens with the air above a wildfire a convectional current will form when the warm air rises and the cool air descends.the main reason for tge descending and ascending is that the air or liquid closest to the source of heat will get heated making it lighter but the air or liquid tgat was further from the source of heat will not be as light so as the warm fluid rises, the cool fluid descends.
