Explain how convection takes place in water
surya000:
Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known asconvection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to coolerplaces by convection.

Hey mate!
Here is your answer...
The convection happens because hot water has a lower density and thus rises up to the surface where it cools and sinks down to the bottom again. When water starts boiling there is the additional effect of the formation of water vapor bubbles that have a much stronger buoyancy than hot water. Thus these water vapor bubbles by their fast movement to the top where they leave the liquid also produce a strong upward water current leading to an increases convection in the pot.
Hope it helped :)
