Convection takes place when heated molecules move from one place to another, taking the heat with them.
Heated air in our atmosphere expands, becoming less dense.
Because it is less dense, it rises upward.
Cooler air rushes in to replace the air that lifted up.
As warm air rises, and cool are falls, a giant circular pattern is created.
Eventually the warmer air cools, and begins to fall again.
