What are the three types of thermal energy?
there are 2 that i know of solar and ocean
How do convection currents distribute heat in the oceans?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
How does differences in density cause convection currents in ocean water?
Convection occurs whenever a less dense liquid is beneath a denser liquid.
Is heat energy redistributed globally?
Solar radiation (heat energy) is redistributed globally by wind and ocean currents.
3 examples of the method of heat transfer?
Three examples of heat transfer are:Radiation - Heat energy moving through empty space (i.e. the sun)Conduction - Heat energy moving through a solid (i.e. pot on a working stove)Convection - Heat energy moving through a gas or liquid (i.e.boiling point)
How do convection currents transfer heat from the ocean to land?
by conduction radiation and convectoin
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 currents heat in the ocean?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current

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.
Is warming ocean water through water currents radiation?
No. Heat transfer through a liquid or gas by currents is convection.
How do convection currents distribute heat in the oceans?

Are there convection currents in the ocean?
YES
Where are convection currents formed?
the ocean .
How do conduction convection and radiation affect the movement and temperature of air near the ocean?
Conduction, convection and radiation affects the movement and temperature of air near the ocean. Conduction causes difference in temperatures. For example, during a hot day, land heats up more quickly than water. Water is a better conductor of heat. The air near the land's surface is heated due to conduction and radiation. It expands and rises since it is lighter than surrounding air. This is called convection. To replace the air that rose, the air from the sea's surface blows to land.
Is the sun heating the Pacific Ocean an example of convection or radiation?
Radiation
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.
