Convection currents which affect weather and climate are created by?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Air convection currents are created by a combination of the sun heating the air closer to the equator making it rise and cooling it in the arctic regions making air descend. That combined with the rotation of the Earth causing a Coriolis Effect making the winds that travel west to east.

differences in temperature and density. As warm air rises and cool air sinks, a continuous loop of circulating air is formed. These convection currents play a significant role in distributing heat and moisture, ultimately influencing weather patterns and shaping climate conditions.

How does ocean currents affect weather and climate in South Africa?
they distribute solar energy
What role do wind and ocean play in climate?
they effect the weather for how hot or how cold
What relationship do you see occurring between the temperature of a current and the temperature of the land area where it is located think coastal areas?
currents affect climate, as they can bring in warm or cold ocean waters and that affects how weather patterns are created offshore
What four conditions describe the climate of a region?
Ocean currents, mountains, elevation, latitude.
A major influence on climate is?
Answer ------> ocean currents(1/1) points
What are convection currents which affect weather and climate created by?
Air convection currents are created by a combination of the sun heating the air closer to the equator making it rise and cooling it in the arctic regions making air descend. That combined with the rotation of the Earth causing a Coriolis Effect making the winds that travel west to east.
How does heat transfer affect weather?
convection currents rush cool air to the sea
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 effect does convection currents in people and animals?
It effects the tempreature and can cause hazadurs weather (mind my spelling)
What transfers heat from one place to another and affects weather and climate?
temperature currents
How does ocean currents affect weather and climate in South Africa?
they distribute solar energy
What role do wind and ocean play in climate?
they effect the weather for how hot or how cold
How are global winds and local winds similar?
They both have covection currents and effect the weather
How do people in Southeast Asia and India adapt to the monsoon climate?
the adapt it by moving by the different weather currents.
How do jet streams and ocean currents affect local weather?
As air and water currents move from one area to another, they affect the general climate of the area they are moving into.Water currents have the ability to cool and warm the air, while air currents push air from one climate to another, bringing heat (or cold) and moisture with it.
How do surface currents affect weather?
Your mom is the way surface currents affect weather
What are the three factors of climate?
Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, month-to-month or even year-to-year. A region’s weather patterns, usually tracked for at least 30 years, are considered its climate.
