convection currents

an example is a heat radiator...it radiates heat which warms the air. the air rises as its heated and cooler air takes its place then being heated by the radiator...this continues until the room is heated and so is a pot is on a stove and the water is boiling and the cold water is at the top and it goes to the bottom

Are winds examples of convection currents?

Yes, winds are examples of convection currents. The uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun creates temperature variations that cause air to rise and fall, creating convection currents that result in winds.


Does convections currents produce the heat in the earths interior?

False.


What is the mechanical layer of earth that has the most active convections currents?

The Earth's core.


What do convections do in the inner core and outer core?

They move the hot and colder parts around.


Which is part of the convections cycle in Earth's atmosphere?

hot, less dense air rises


What happens during atmospheric convections?

Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.


What is the low point of a sound wave (rare fractions) where the lowest air pressure occurs?

convections


What will happen to the convections currents in the mantle if Earth's interior eventually cools down?

the convection currents will stop


What are 3 examples in new moon by Stephenie Meyer?

How do positions of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convections?

noting it works (in the science meaning; to cause a change) a lot.


What is convections purpose?

The purpose of convection is to transfer heat from one place to another through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). This process helps distribute heat more evenly in a space, such as in a room with a radiator or in the Earth's atmosphere through weather systems.


How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?

Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
