Making pancakes on a stove.

Microwaving your left overs.

Water at a rolling boil.

Heat coming from the sun.

Hot particles sink, causing the cold particles to rise.

Cold particles steal the heat from the hot particles.

Hot particles rise, pushing the cold particles down toward the heat source.

Convection currents do not move at all.
