convecting
Warm fluid moving
Convecting describes the process of transferring heat through the movement of fluid—liquid or gas.
Hot air convecting from a radiator rises and circulates through a room.
Ocean currents convecting warm water from the equator toward the poles redistribute heat across the globe.
Heat was convecting upward from the pavement.
