Question

which best describes the movement of water within a pot of boiling water

Answer 1

conduction.
heat absorbed by the water molecules generates kinetic energy and the molecule at the bottom moves away and it is replaced by another molecule and so on.

Answer 2

Which best describes the movement of water within a pot of boiling water?

Answer to the question is: Conduction. Conduction is the movement of molecules for the transfer of heat from the one part to the other part. It is the flow of internal energy from a region of higher temperature to one of lower temperature by the interaction of the adjacent particles like the atoms and the molecules. When one end of the handle gets heated it is the process of conduction.
