Answer:

Convection currents

Step-by-step explanation:

Convection currents are defined as the vertical movement of heat or moisture(energy) from one location to another primarily due to the temperature changes within the substance. Some of the examples of convection current may include boiling water, convection currents in the atmosphere and in the ocean, weather changes, campfires, etc. Thus, the air that moves in huge circular patterns as a result of temperature differences is known as convection currents.
