Q: What is the transfer of heat by a current?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Convection is the transfer of heat by a current. Convection happens in a liquid or a gas. Air near the ground is warmed by heat radiating from Earth's surface. The warm air is less dense, so it rises. As it rises, it cools. The cool air is dense, so it sinks to the surface. This creates a convection current, like the one in Figure below . Convection is the most important way that heat travels in the atmosphere.

 Choices:

- radiation

- combustion

- diffusion

- convection


A:
convection
