What states of matter does convection occur in?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Convection can occur in both liquids and gases as they are fluid in nature. In solids, convection is typically not observed because particles are not free to move around like in liquids and gases.

Answer 3

Of heat, all three, water, ice and steam conduct heat some better than others

Answer 4

Solid, Liquid and Gas.

Answer 5

well the answer is solid

Answer 6

gas and liquid
