The process of convection does not rely on conduction. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, while conduction is the transfer of heat through contact between two objects. In convection, the fluid is heated at the bottom and rises, while the cooler fluid sinks. This creates a current of fluid that carries heat from the bottom to the top of the fluid. Conduction, on the other hand, occurs when two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other. The heat from the warmer object is transferred to the cooler object through direct contact.
