Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.

Heat energy can transfer by convection when there is a significant difference in temperature between two parts of a fluid. When this temperature difference exists, hot fluids rise and cold fluids sink, and then currents, or movements, are created in the fluid.

Gravity and magnetism are both
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You have to read this carefully enough that you don't mix up energy and forces.

Gravity is a force. If you don't believe me try jumping off a building. Which way are you going to go and why? Down because gravity attracts your mass.

So Magnetism must be a force as well. It acts in one direction, but not a specific one the way gravity acts). It also either attracts or repulses (pushes an object away)
