the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot
Basically a convection current

Which process do air currents transfer heat energy throughout the room?
convection
What is heat energy moving in currents?
convection
What are moving currents of fluid that transfer heat?
Convection
How heat travels through convection?
Movement of Thermal energy is by the use of convection currents.
What is the main way heat is transferred in the troposphere?
Convection Currents
What causes convection currents in the earth's mantle and oceans and in the air?
Heat differentials.
What happens when earth receives energy from the sun?
The side of the Earth facing the Sun has its surface, atmosphere and oceans heated but the energy form the Sun. This then starts convection currents in the atmosphere and oceans as the area of maximum heating (near the equator) tries to distribute the heat to the area of least heating (the poles). The convection currents are moderated by the Earth's rotation due to the Coriolis effect.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
What happens to convection currents if the heat source is removed?
The convection currents will eventaully stop because there is no heat to keep them moving.
The sun's heat is distributed throughout the world by what process?
Convection is the process but above the surface wind and currents distribute the sun's heat. None of this would be possible if the earth didn't rotate
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?
What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
Which process do air currents transfer heat energy throughout the room?
convection
Would there still be convection in the oceans if the earth stopped getting energy from the sun?
There are other sources of heat in the oceans besides the sun.. Most are underwater magma or gas outlets. However, the majority of heat in the oceans does come from the sun. Heat is necessary for convection to occur. There is a possibility for localized convection due to the alternate heat sources, but most, if not all convection would cease without the sun.
What is heat energy moving in currents?
convection
What determines flow of heat?
Convection currents.
