Advection The horizontal transfer of air mass properties by the velocity field of the atmosphere.
Convection Atmospheric motions that are predominantly vertical, resulting in vertical transport and mixing of atmospheric properties; distinguished from advection.
(c) are about equally effective as conduction in transferring heat around the globe.
