Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Inertia is the force that keeps an object at rest. Inertia is referred to as the property which results in it continuing in the state of rest that it is unless there's an external force that acts upon it.

Inertia keeps objects and things in place and it holds the universe together. When there's no force that's acting in an object, such object will continue to move in a straight line and also at a constant speed.

Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.
