How are convection currents influenced by weather?
winds blow clouds from one area to another, and clouds carry precipitation Understanding the patterns of wind can help you know what weather to excepthope this helped :)
What can be predicted from weather patterns?
It causes convection currents in the air that lead to varied wind patterns and the movements of clouds. It also affects the formation of clouds, as when it is too warm the cannot form as quickly and tend to produce less rain.
What type of precipitation does cumulus cloud produce?
normally cumulus clouds do not produce precipitation. It is cumulonimbus clouds that form rain or snow depending on the season.
Do cirrus clouds produce sleet?
Cirrus clouds do not produce precipitation at all.
The condition of the type of water falling to Earth from the clouds is called?
precipitation

Is the source of all clouds and precipitation water vapor?
The convection is the source of all clouds and precipitation
What is responsible for creating clouds and air currents.?
Convection

When a line of clouds move across the sky what is it a example of?
convection currents

convection currents
What is the relationship of convection currents and rain?
Convection currents are part of the water cycle. The sun heats up the ground and causes moisture from the ground to evaporate. The moisture rises and condenses to form clouds which can become very large in size. The clouds become very dense and precipitation takes place e.g. rain. The cycle can then take place again. This occurs mainly in very hot countries.
How does convection affect weather patterns and climates?
Essentially convection moves warmer air upwards to be cooled by expansion and form clouds and precipitation and then moves that cold air downwards to be warmed by compression which in the process of being compressionally warmed becomes drier.
How do oceans affect precipitation?
colder ocean currents prevent clouds from forming, and there is less precipitation. warmer currents bring in humidity and more rain. an example would be Florida and Cali.
Where does water vapor go when it enters the air?
Water vapor triggers convection currents that can form clouds.
Air moves in large circular patterns called?
Air moves in large circular patterns called convection cells. A convection cell is most notable in the formation of clouds with its release and transportation of energy.
How are conviction currents in the air useful?
'Convection' currents do several things, most notably by creating wind. These currents also move clouds, providing rain, as well as other atmospheric features.
