La convection s'observe facilement en été par beau temps sur une route goudronnée bien chauffée par le soleil; on voit alors l'air «trembler» au-dessus de la route. En fait l'air s'échauffe au contact de la surface plus chaude, il s'élève alors en se refroidissant au contact de l'air plus froid; cette couche d'air est remplacée par une autre qui s'échauffe à son tour et ainsi de suite. 2, record 1, French, - convection
