Abstract: The chapter begins with a description of the annulus model of rotationg convection. The basic equations for the spherical problem are then introduced and the onset of columnar convection in spherical shells is discussed. The onset of inertial mode convection is described which prevails at very low Prandtl numbers. The properties of finite amplitude convection are outlined for a wide range of Prandtl numbers. Equatorially attached convection is considered which evolves from inertial mode convection.
