What are some effects convection currents have on the world?
Convection currents inside the Earth happens. The part where the convection currents go up, it brings up materials from the mantle like rocks. This forms new crust. When the convection currents go down, it brings down some older, colder oceanic crust to the mantle, destroying it. In conclusion, the crust is formed and destroyed when convection currents inside the Earth happen.
Convection currents within the Earth cause plate tectonics due to the movement of the mantle true or false?
No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.
Convection currents which affect weather and climate are 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.
What cause the global convection current between the equation and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.

What factors most strongly affect a regions climate?
Latitude, winds, and currents strongly affect a region's climate
How do convection currents affect earth?
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
How does convection currents affect your life's?
Lava lamps.
Do convection currents always affect the same way?
no
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
What are Global Convection Currents and How do this affect the Global Convection Cells?
Chuck Norris Google
Do convection currents affect the movement of plates on Earth's crust?
Yes!

How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does heat transfer affect weather?
convection currents rush cool air to the sea
How Does the Mantle Affect the Earth's Crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How do convection currents affect the lithosphere?
Convection currents in the asthenosphere helps form subduction zones at convergent boundaries and ridges at divergent boundaries. This slow and continuous convection causes the plates on earth's crust to move.
