Convection is heat transfer by movement hot matter as compared to cold matter bure to density differences in the presence of a gravity field.

convection is the theory that hot things rise and cold things don't. Obviously this doesn't apply to most solids but in liquids and gases this is very real. In a tall room the temperature at the top of the room will be a couple of degrees warmer then at the bottom and convection is actually the basis upon which a boiler works as rather than just running out of water cold water comes out instead because, within the tank, the hot water rises to the top and the cold water remains at the bottom so when all the hot stuff at the top is gone it moves on to the colder water.
