Thermal Energy is
the energy of electrons moving through a circuit

Heat transfer by convection happens when:
there is a circulation of hot air/water rising and cold air/water sinking
there is space that heat travels through in waves outwardly
two objects are touching and heat moves from one object into the next object.
