A band of very fast wind that is formed by the different temperatures between huge convection currents is called a jet stream. Jet streams are narrowÊand they flow fast.

What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What do temperature differences between the equator and the two poles produce?
convection currents in the atmosphere
What cause the global convection current between the equation and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.

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.
Do convection currents create heat?
No. Convection currents are the result of a temperature difference between one depth and another in fluid.
What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What is the link between the radioactive decay of the earth's core and convection currents?
The radioactive decay produces heat energy, which keeps the convection currents moving.
What are the convection currents?
Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock. The heat transfer function of convection currents drives the earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather and geology. Convection is different from conduction, which is a transfer of heat between substances in direct contact with each other.
What do the differences between the equator and the two poles produce?
convection currents in the atmosphere
What cause the global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
What causes global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
What do temperature differences between the equator and the two poles produce?
convection currents in the atmosphere
What is a convection current caused by?
The liquid or gas which transfers the heat can circulate round and round between the hot and cold regions. The flow of liquid or gas is called a convection current. Convection currents are caused by changes in density.
What is the lithosphere moved by?
The lithosphere, (The "gooey" part of the mantel that is between the crust) Is moved by convection currents.
