How is this demonstration of convection different than what occurs in Earth's atmosphere?

• The warmed air and water sink instead rise

• the atmosphere is heated by the Sun which is above not below

• convection currents in the atmosphere and oceans goes in the opposite direction

• cold air and water are less dense so they will sink
