Answer:

✿´`·.·´`✿Convection currents are movements of fluid caused by a temperature or density difference within a material. Convection currents are only seen in gases and liquids because particles within a solid are fixed in place. Warm air rising toward a house's ceiling or attic is a simple example of convection currents.
