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
Surface currents are set in motion by the?
convection currents are set into motion by heat.without heat the convection currents would stop when all the material reaches the same temperature.
What describes the circular motion of heat below the earth's surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
What describes the circular motion of heat below the earths surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
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
Which of the folling can form in the geosphere and carry heat from earth mantle toward the surface conduction currents infared currents convection currents or surface currents?
in the atmosphere.
What is the standard 6.5.2?
standard 6.5.2 Recognize and describe that the currents in the air and ocean distribute heat energy
What distributes heat from one region to another?
Surface currents
Do ocean waters and winds help to distribute the suns heat?
Wind and ocean currents are both produced by the Earth's unequal heating. This leads to the conclusion that the Sun is the main component in wind currents and ocean currents, because the Sun is what heats the Earth.
What cause convention currents in mantle?
the heat in the core raises and heat raises to a cold spot. so the convection currents raises to the surface of the earth.
What happens when heat currents travel from earth's interior to the surface?
UNKNOWN....
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
