Warm air rises to the top of a room. When a cold air mass moves in, the warm air rises over it causing a thunderstorm. Warm ocean currents are at the surface, like the Gulf Stream, while cold water currents flow along the bottom. These are all examples of the way heat moves by:

radiation

conduction

absorption

convection
