Explanation:

Convection is a heat - transfer process in fluids (liquids and gases) where fluid motion is caused by temperature differences. Warmer, less - dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a circulation pattern for heat transfer. It doesn't rely on particle - to - particle collision (that's conduction) and doesn't involve electromagnetic wave emission (that's radiation).

Answer:

Convection involves fluid motion resulting from temperature differences.
