Mechanism of heat transfer by convection in fluids

When a fluid is heated from underneath, it expands and becomes less dense than fluid above. The warm less dense fluid rises to the top and the cool more dense fluid from above moves downwards to replace the rising fluid. This process continues and circulating current of the fluid is established until the whole fluid is heated up.
