Due to convection

The hot air rises from pavement on a hot summer day due to convection. Convection is the process of heat transfer through the movement of fluids, such as air. As the sun heats up the pavement, it transfers heat to the air molecules in direct contact with it. These air molecules become warmer and less dense, causing them to rise. This creates a movement of air, with the hotter air rising and the cooler air sinking, resulting in the phenomenon of hot air rising from the pavement.
