Answer:

Yes, Convection can occur in both liquids and gases

Step-by-step explanation:

The Particle Theory suggests that Particles are always moving. Convection occurs in the breeze you feel, when the warm particles quickly move upwards resulting in cold air quickly sinking and creating a breeze. Convection also occurs when you boil water, the molecules of warm water quickly move to the top and cold water quickly moves to the bottom resulting in a circle the constantly keeps the water circulating, making it boil.
