1. Your hand touches the burner on the stove.

then cools and sinks which causes Earth's tectonic plates to move.
3. You feel the warmth of the sun on a warm summer day.
4. The warm water near the equator moves towards the cold water near the
earth's poles. This phenomenon is known as a global ocean current.
5. You accidentally touch the hot part of the iron.
6. The soup on the bottom of a pot heats up by touching the pan.
7. Hot soup moves to the top of the pot and cool soup sinks to the bottom.
