The video explores the concept of convection, a heat transfer process involving the movement of molecules within fluids. It explains how temperature changes affect density, causing warm air or water to rise. The video includes demonstrations, such as a fire tornado, to illustrate these principles. It also covers other heat transfer methods like conduction and radiation, and provides examples of convection in nature, such as cloud formation and water heating on a stove.
