Are you curious how you're able to heat your Ramen water so quickly? Every time you turn put water on the stove a process known as convection occurs. Convection is heating by the movement of fluids and without it, heating water would take a very long time as water is not a good conductor. As the water in your pot is heated, the warmer, less dense water rises to the top while the cooler water sinks down to the bottom above the heat source where it is then heated until it is hotter and less dense than the warm water above it and the cycle repeats itself.
