Answer:
The cooler water is denser
Step-by-step explanation:
Convection drives the boiling of water placed on a stove in a kettle.
During convection, heat is circulated by density differences in portions of a fluid.
Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids especially gas and liquid.
- In boiling water, the heat is supplied to the base of the stove.
- The water at the bottom on heat becomes lighter as the molecules gain more kinetic energy.
- The colder part of the water on top sinks to replace the less dense on below.
- This exchange sets up convection cells in the kettle.
