Convection Process Explained - Visual Diagram & Science Overview #3574108 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts a natural convection current in Earth’s atmosphere, where solar radiation heats the ground (pink area), warming the adjacent air, which then rises (red arrow). As the warm air ascends, it cools, becomes denser, and sinks back down (blue curved arrows), completing the cycle. Pine trees, mountains, and a winding road provide context for terrestrial convection influencing local climate and breeze patterns.
