The movement pattern in a fluid caused by temperature differences within the fluid

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded party where everyone is gathered around the snack table, making it difficult to get food. This situation is similar to how convection currents work, where different temperatures in a fluid cause it to move in a pattern. Just like how people move away from the crowded table to find more space, warmer fluid rises and cooler fluid sinks, creating a continuous cycle of movement due to temperature differences.
