Answer 1

When the entire liquid is a single temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

When a liquid is heated, a convection current is set up. Convection is the movement of

fluid particles in response to a temperature gradient.

When you start heating a liquid, the particles near the base of the heating vessel increase in temperature, become less dense and rise upwards while the denser particles move downwards. This convection current will continue until an equilibrium temperature is obtained throughout the liquid.
