- 34. Multiple-choice30 seconds1 ptParticles of hot soup rise slowly in a pot simmering on a stove. As the hot soup nears the surface, it begins to cool. The cooler soup sinks, forming a constant movement of soup that moves energy toward the surface of the pot. This constant movement of the soup in the pot is called a(n)conduction loopconvection currentenergy fieldmagnetic field
