Evaporation vs Convection - What's the difference?
evaporation | convection |
The process of a liquid converting to the gaseous state.
The process in which all or a portion of liquid (in a container) is turned into vapour, in order to increase the concentration of solid matter in the mixture.
(archaic) That which is evaporated; vapor.
The process of conveying something.
(physics) The transmission of heat in a fluid or gas by the circulation of currents.
(meteorology) The vertical movement of heat and moisture, especially by updrafts and downdrafts in an unstable air mass. The terms convection and thunderstorm are often used interchangeably, although thunderstorms are only one form of convection. Towering cumulus clouds are visible forms of convection.
