Question
the diagram shows an example of convection. which label belongs on the arrow? warmer water sinks warmer water rises cooler water sinks cooler water rises
Step1: Recall convection principle
In convection, warmer fluids are less dense.
Step2: Understand density - movement relation
Less - dense fluids rise in a gravitational field. In the case of water, warmer water is less dense than cooler water. So, warmer water rises and cooler water sinks. Since the arrow likely represents the movement of the warmer fluid, the label "Warmer water rises" is correct.
