CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE Heat Transfer - The movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE Types of Heat Transfer - Radiation, Conduction, and Convection. CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE Radiation – the transfer of energy through empty space (ex: sunlight); takes place with no direct contact between a heat source and an object CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE Conduction – heat transfer by direct contact of particles of matter (ex: spoon getting hot in pot) CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE Convection Current – The flow that transfers heat within a fluid; set in motion by the heating and cooling of the fluid, changes in the fluid’s density, and gravity; continues as long as heat is added CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE CONVECTION CURRENTS  THE MANTLE Convection - heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid; heated particles of fluid begin to flow, transferring heat energy from one part of the fluid to another.

Heat travels from one object to another. When your warm hand touches the ice cube, some of the heat goes from your hand to the ice and begins to melt it. When you are roasting marshmallows, the stick can heat up and burn your hand when you touch it due to conduction. How can you use convection currents to explain why warm air rises? As the hot air rises, the cool air rushes in underneath to fill the space. As the cool air warms up, it also rises, and air currents are created. The currents make the convection curler turn. * * *
