Answer:

The cooler water is denser

Step-by-step explanation:

Convection drives the boiling of water placed on a stove in a kettle.

During convection, heat is circulated by density differences in portions of a fluid.

Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids especially gas and liquid.

  • In boiling water, the heat is supplied to the base of the stove.
  • The water at the bottom on heat becomes lighter as the molecules gain more kinetic energy.
  • The colder part of the water on top sinks to replace the less dense on below.
  • This exchange sets up convection cells in the kettle.
