The video explores the concept of heat transfer through convection, both within Earth's interior and in a pot of water. It explains how sunlight affects Earth's atmosphere, leading to uneven heating and global air movement. The video also discusses the impact of Earth's tilt on seasonal changes and global wind patterns.
