Question

Which best describes the shape of a convection current?

linear
spiral
circular
wave

Answer 1

The answer is the 3rd one "circular"

Answer 2

Answer;

The shape of convection current is circular

Explanation;

• Convection is type of heat transfer which involves the transfer of thermal energy in fluids, that is gases and liquids.
• Convection creates convection currents which helps in the distribution of thermal energy in all parts of a fluid. The convection currents occurs in a circular motion, such that heat is transferred from the hotter parts of a fluid to the cold parts of a fluid, until all the fluid attains the same temperature.
• The convection currents that aid in the transfer of thermal energy in fluids are created by the temperature differences together with density differences in fluids.
