Convective flow should be family to anyone who has noted the boiling of a heated liquid. The most elementary type of convection can be explained by the fact that heat rises. In the simplest cases, convective flow begins when a fluid is heated, it expands and thus become less 5 dense than the layers above. The warmer and lighter bottom layer then tends to rise and the cooler layer tends to sink in a continuous cycle. The same mechanism of convective flow is responsible for the great ocean currents and for the global circulation of the atmosphere. In an ocean, the water is warmed by the Sun to a depth of perhaps 10 thirty meters, and evaporation near the water's surface is responsible for the cooling effect.
