When there is heat at the bottom of water, the water molecules that are hot starts to move, thus the water molecules spread apart. The heated water becomes less dense.
The less density water molecules rise to the top where it can find water with same density.
In this process, it pushes the other water molecules that were in its way. These molecules are pushed down.
At the same time, new water molecules fill the space left by the heated molecules that rose up. This brings a circular motion. Thus water heated at the bottom travels up, cools down, gets denser, falls down. The cycle continues.

Hello friend
___________________________________________________________
When water is heated, water molecules as well as atoms neew a large amount of space, because thy vibrate more. Sincs, the same number of water molecules need a large amount of space, they become lighter than the water molecules which are cold and packed together. If you heat water from the top with a small immersion heater , then you will notice that the water which is at bottom will remain cold, it is heavier than the water that is on top . Even ice may form on top, but at the bottom the water remains as it is earlier,, because water at 4 degree Celsius is heaver than ice that's why fishes live at the bottom while not at top.
