Warm air rises and the cool air sinks demonstrates this type of heat transfer.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• Insolation

Answer explanation

Convection is the circulation due to different areas of temperature or heat density. The surface air is heated and then rises and cools. Once cool it circulates back to the surface to be heated in this convection cycle.
