Answer:

the hotter water flows to the top and the colder water flows down which then gets heated goes back up and the hot water that went up is colder again so they keep flipping

Answer: Hope This Helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea that water heated at the bottom of a pot rises to the top and returns to the bottom by convection is correct. The convection happens because hot water has a lower density and thus rises up to the surface where it cools and sinks down to the bottom again.
