It's really fun to have a convection oven, even it if it's a little convection toaster oven. It really changes the way you bake.

Convection typically describes natural heat movement, without mechanical aid.

Natural Phenomena

Convection explains certain weather patterns, like wind and cloud formation.

Climate Explanation

Convection is used to explain the functioning of heaters and ovens.

Household Context

In educational settings, convection is a key term in physics and thermodynamics.

Science Class

Understanding convection can help in designing energy-efficient systems.

Practical Applications

The term 'convection' is formal and mainly found in academic or technical texts.

Academic Language

In engineering, convection is important in the design of cooling systems for machinery.

Cooling Systems

Convection is one of the three methods of heat transfer, besides conduction and radiation.

Heat Transfer Method

Use 'convection' to talk about heat movement in engineering and technology topics.

Engineering Context

 The speed and direction in which these tectonic plates move depends on the temperature and pressure of the asthenosphere below. Scientists are still trying to nail down the driving forces behind this movement, with some theories pointing towards mantle convection, while others are examining the influence of the Earth's rotation

 maximum opportunities for reproduction. Not only that, because you have this convection, you have this rising of the air where it's hot, air is drawn in. There's a convergence. So, wherever the rain is falling, the air is drawn towards it to replace the air that's rising.

Convection

The movement in a gas or liquid in which the warmer parts move up and the colder parts move down.
