above the sea, warm air rises, cools, and sinks.
Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas). In the case of warm air rising, cooling, and sinking above the sea, it is a classic example of convection currents in a gas (air). The other options involve radiation (sun heating the ground, feet getting hot on sand) or evaporation (water on face to cool off).
