Under conditions of standard temperature and pressure convection is not possible in the solid state of matter.

However under extreme conditions (e.g. the high temperature and pressure in the earth's mantle) convection is not only possible in the solid state of matter, but happens all the time just as in the liquid and gas states of matter but much slower.

Is matter needed for convection?

Yes, matter is needed for convection to occur. Convection is a heat transfer process that involves the movement of matter, typically a fluid like air or water, due to differences in density caused by temperature variations. Without matter to transport the heat, convection cannot take place.


What types of matter does convection occur?

Convection occurs mainly in the gaseous state, where heat is transferred through currents in air. Convection can also occur in liquids, however it is generally identified with gases.gas and liquid


What states of matter do convection currents transfer heat?

Convection currents transfer heat in fluids such as liquids and gases, which are in the liquid and gas states of matter. These currents occur due to the movement of the fluid particles as they become less dense and rise when heated, then cool and sink to create a continuous circulation that transfers heat.

What type of heat transfer only happens in 2 States of matter?

Radiation is a type of heat transfer that can occur between two objects regardless of the states of matter they are in. It does not require a medium to propagate, making it possible for radiation to occur between objects in different states of matter.

In which state of water does convection occur?

Convection occurs in all states of water - solid, liquid, and gas. In liquid water, convection is responsible for the movement of heat and energy through the water. In the atmosphere, convection plays a key role in cloud formation and weather patterns.
