Answer: Convection

Step-by-step explanation:

Convection can be defined as the transfer of heat energy from a fluid as hotter materials in the fluid rise up and cooler ones sink down. This results as the hot materials have low density as compared to those which are cold. In the decorative lamp the globs break out as the evaporated form of liquid rises up due to low density and the remaining cold fluid remains at the bottom as a result of convection.
