Birds use convection by using convection currents the heat will rise as a draft and then birds can ride the draft to reach higher altitudes.

Birds use convection currents to fly because of the warm air that rises. When the bird fly over the draft, the bird can ride it to higher altitudes.

What are needed to spread out the wings when the birds fly?

Birds use their wing muscles to spread out their wings when they are ready to fly. Birds use thermal air currents, updrafts, and wind to soar and flap their wings when needed.


What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?

Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.

True or flase birds use wings and feathers to fly so all birds can fly?

To say that birds use wings and feathers to fly, so all birds can fly, would be false. Not all birds can fly. An ostrich is an example of a bird that cannot fly.


What is a bird doing when he is gliding?

Saving energy for they can use the air currents to fly instead of flapping their wings. Birds usually do this while migrating far distances.


How do birds use magnetism to fly?

They don't, they use wings.


How do birds use the wind?

Convection current move fluids upwards and downwards (like boiling soup) and distribute heat energy. An upward convection current in the atmosphere is called a "Thermal" (which usually have a small cumulus cloud on top) and some species of birds use these to gain height, circling round in them and getting taken up with the rising hot air without having to flap. When they have gained altitude they can then come out of the thermal and glide to the next while hunting or migrating. Using the rising air in the thermals means that they save energy themselves (by not having to flap) and this help them survive.
