Solution

The answer is Convection. This term refers to the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (which can be a liquid or a gas). When a heat source causes the fluid to become less dense, it rises. This allows denser fluid to flow in toward the heat source, which continues the process. This is different from conduction (which is direct heat transfer from one thing to another) and thermal radiation (which is heat transfer via electromagnetic waves).
