Is it true that wind are examples of convection currents?
Not conduction, but convection currents, are what drive winds and many ocean currents.
What is tectonic convection?
Your probably referring to the magma convection currents within the mantle. Like normal heaing and cooling convection currents, the magma ebbs & flows, keeping the tectonic plates in motion.
The motion of tectonic plates is part of a larger system that includes?
Convection currents in the mantle
What are convection currents?
convectional currents in the mantle are themselves driven by the heat of the core. the heat is partly created of overlaying material. A lava lamp is a perfect example of convectional
How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
Surface currents are set in motion by the?
convection currents are set into motion by heat.without heat the convection currents would stop when all the material reaches the same temperature.
Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
How is convection transferred?
Convection is transferred by the larger-scale motion of currents in the fluid.
What three factors set convection currents in motion?
The three factors that set convection currents in motion are: the heating and cooling of fluid, change in its density, and the force of gravity combine to set it in motion.
Is it true that wind are examples of convection currents?
Not conduction, but convection currents, are what drive winds and many ocean currents.
How do cells appear when convection currents are causing their motion?
move in circular motion.
What 3 things set convection currents in motion?
The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.
Plate motion is caused partly by magnetic reversals convection currents continental drift or volacnic hot spots?
Convection currents
What is convection result of?
currents caused by the motion of heated molecules
What drives plate motion inside earth?
convection currents
Why are Earth's continental plates continually in motion?
The continental plates are continually in motion due to the convection currents. The convection currents are driven from heat generated from radioactive decay within the earth.
What inside Earth might drive plate motion?
convection currents
