Question

How does a simmering pot of spaghetti sauce illustrate convection currents?(1 point)

Responses

Warmer sauce at the bottom of the pot is denser, so it rises, forcing cooler sauce down, where it is warmed.

Warmer sauce at the bottom of the pot is less dense, so it rises, forcing cooler sauce down, where it is warmed.

Warmer sauce at the top of the pot is denser, so it sinks to the bottom of the pot, where it is warmed even more.

The pot is only simmering, so there are no convection currents.

Warmer sauce at the bottom of the pot is less dense, so it rises, forcing cooler sauce down, where it is warmed. This is an example of convection currents as the heat source at the bottom of the pot heats up the sauce, making it less dense and causing it to rise while the cooler, denser sauce sinks to the bottom and is then heated.
