    The convection process plays an important role in the liquid. Due to the increasing heat supply or high amount of temperature, the fluid gets heated up, as a result of which it becomes warm, less dense and eventually rises up forming convection cells.

    In the interior of the earth, the hot molten rocks get heated up due to the heat supplied by the core of the earth. This makes the magma warm and less dense and rises upward forming convection currents in the mantle.

    This convection process is similar to the convection cells that form in the atmosphere, where the hot, less dense air rises up in the atmosphere forming a low-pressure zone. This uprising air forms convection cells, in which the warm air rises and as it rises high in the atmosphere, the temperature becomes low, making the air cold and it eventually sinks.
