How Convection Works in Boiling Water - Science Explained #3745920 (License: Personal Use)

The image shows a saucepan on an electric hot plate with visible red-to-blue temperature gradient in the water-red at the bottom (hot), blue at the top (cooler). White curved arrows indicate convection currents as heated water rises and cooler water descends. Steam plumes above illustrate phase change from liquid to vapor due to added thermal energy.
