The correct statement is that hot air rises.
Answer:
This is the answer I hope it helps.
Explanation:
False, hot air is light and it rises.
Conventional knowledge has it that warm air rises while cold air sinks. But a study from the University of California, Davis, found that in the tropical atmosphere, cold air rises due to an overlooked affect—the lightness of water vapour. This effect helps to stabilize tropical climates and buffer some of the impacts of a warming climate.
Take a container of a liquid or a gas in normal gravity, put a heat source at the bottom, the liquid or gas next to the heat source will be warmed, it will then be lighter than the gas around it and will therefore drift upwards taking the heat with it.
It is not the heat that rises, it’s that a warm liquid or gas is generally less dense than the same liquid or gas at a lower temperature and will therefore but pushed out of the way by the more dense cold gas or liquid.
But the result of all this is that the heat input at the bottom of the container will appear at the top, so in that indirect sense, yes. IF HELPFUL PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST.
