Convection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Convection is the heat transfer process in the atmosphere that depends upon the movement of air. It is the most important heat transfer process in the atmosphere because it is responsible for the transfer of heat from the Earth&#8217;s surface to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Convection occurs when warm air rises and cold air sinks.
