Convection Current Demonstration

Convection currents are the result of uneven heating of water or air. These currents create some of our wind, weather, and ocean currents.
In order to demonstrate convection currents I first froze blue water into ice cubes. I next used red food coloring to create red water and then heated this water. When I place these objects in water you can see how the different temperatures of water flow.
The hot water flows upward and the cold blue water flows downward.
Materials for this convection current demonstration
Red and blue food coloring
Ice cube tray
Bottle for the hot water
Fish tank or any large clear container

This is the best example of convection current and very easy to understand

[@lyndagrasso5361]

Great set up for this! Easy to see. Thanks for creating!

[@mrmeme3807]

Are people only watching this for school?

[@angeliquecruz5296]

Yup💀

[@nickuni4564]

Unfortunately

[@drrkwolf]

yh

[@mrmeme3807]

true

[@chells6498]

Mhm

[@SamT1N]

great video

[@nooraly1203]

What’s the temperature of the bin?

[@theodorebanta9898]

Convection currents also happen underground in the mantle.

[@sudorights]

Outer core and mantle

[@ihynina]

why is my teacher making me watch this

[@ems5876]

Same lmaoo

[@drrkwolf]

same here bro but have to admit better then some of the others!

[@wasp4464]

ong

[@jovankabalqis966]

Omg same 😂👍

[@sansili5660]

sad

How does the blue water gain heat after it has fallen to the bottom of the ocean (tank)?
I understand hot water rises, and as it cools, it falls back down, but how does the cool water get warm again to creat the cycle?

[@pouetance]

As it falls, the cold water get closer to the heat source (the bottle).

[@superspooky4580]

Brian Andrews in reality the sun would heat the ground then the air nearest to the ground would heat up. These are called thermals the hot air rises cools off then sinks. If you ever see a small puffy cloud it’s because of this. After that hot air full of moisture get up to the cold region it cools and releases all of its moisture in the forum of a cloud ☁️

[@mr.becker404]

Because as the the warm air rises it leaves a space for the cold water to flow into like draft in a fireplace.

[@niharranjanmahunt4102]

Due to earth core

[@a.randomjack6661]

One of the 4 'Laws of thermodynamics' says 'heat always flows toward cold'
Look up those laws. 🤓

[@stevehouse8590]

you had to take out your fish for that

[@zoticgt6167]

everyone is watching this because school

[@onikiaherme4895]

Yes sir

[@eastonmayer5930]

Yes

[@yuktimaheshwari8514]

hello sir,
this is yukti maheshwari, I am a blogger, recently I am writing a blog related this topic I want to use your video for my blog.
kindl grant my request.
thank you

[@usernameunknown6187]

i watched this during my test because i forgot

[@adamwatson1818]

Underrated comment

[@harp_red]

Nah I’m just watching this because I have a project overdue and tomorrow is the last day of the quarter and I literally don’t understand lol

[@BadalKumar-pi7ud]

You just had to cool the blue water dye. By icing it, you are making it difficult to observe convection currents.

[@pretendihaveacoolusername3984]

so we all just had our teachers tell us 2 watch this huh

[@mturtle1977]

Yep

[@marrayahperalta9475]

watching this bc due tomorrow

[@steveheighton5971]

hello.

[@danielortega6212]

Bruh

[@piano-learner]

Sala gaming video dekh lo sala

[@keishamawire1793]

Your accent is confusing def not ine person 😂
