Step-by-step explanation:

First, the liquid on the bottom of the pot closest to the heat source starts to get hot; as it does, it rises. The rising hot water is replaced by the cooler, more dense water molecules. The water molecules in your pot continually exchange in this way, thanks to gravity, eventually warming the entire pot of liquid.

The water at the bottom of the pot becomes hot and it’s density decreases.Cold water could become water vapor.
