The most dominant mode of heat transfer that occurs when a pot of water is heated is
1.conduction
2. condensation
3. convection
4. evaporation
5. radiation

3. Convection

Heat transfer in fluids generally takes place via convection. Convection currents are set up in the fluid because the hotter part of the fluid is not as dense as the cooler part, so there is an upward buoyant force on the hotter fluid, making it rise while the cooler, denser, fluid sinks. Birds and gliders make use of upward convection currents to rise, and we also rely on convection to remove ground-level pollution.
