When convection occurs with very warm, moist air, thunderstorms can form. As warm, moist air flows up in a convection cell it cools and the moisture in it condenses. The condensation releases energy that powers the thunderstorm. Given the right conditions and the right interaction of wind currents, that thunderstorm may go on to produce a tornado.

∙ 10y agoNo. Tornado are an indirect result of convection, but only in air and only under special circumstances. Convection currents are any current in a fluid induced by heating or cooling.

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.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Who discovered convection currents?
Arthur Holmes discovered convection currents. He made two contributions on how the planet earth works. He was the very first scientist to understand convection currents in the earth.
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
How is the rock cycle related to the movement of earth's plate?

How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?

How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plated?

What do these tornadoes with there currents create around the earth to protect it from the suns solar wind?
Tornadoes have nothing to do with protecting Earth from the solar wind. Convection currents in Earth's core create a magnetic field that protects against the solar wind.

How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
Convection currents discovered date?
convection currents discovery date
What direction do convection currents-move?
Convection currents move in upward direction
Do scientists think plates are moved by convection currents or volcanoes?
convection currents.
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?
Do convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator?
Yes, convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator.
