How are convection currents involved in creating wind and thunderstorms?

Sunlight heats the ground, which then heats the air, which rises (hot air is less dense than cold air); as the air rises, cooler air falls and is sucked in to take the place of the air that rose. This creates various types of wind, depending upon the size of the air masses as well as the surrounding topography, which can deflect the air in different directions.

Is hydrogen an element involved in creating genetic material?
yes
What two processes of the water cycle are responsible for creating a lake?
The two processes of the water cycle are responsible for creating a lake are:EvaporationCondensationThese processes are involved.
What particles play roles in creating chemical bonds?
Electrons are the particles involved in chemical bonds.
How is convection of air involved in the development if a thunderstorm?
Warm air rises from the ground to the troposphere(an updraft). when updrafts rise, they cool down everything and condense.
How do temperature changes create convection currents?
When they get hotter, gasses and fluids have a lower density (they weigh less per cubic inch) so they rise above the cooler material.Another answerMost of the time a convection current happens within the Earth, in the layer which we call the mantle. Like the rock cycle, it has no certain beginning. Heated material becomes less dense. As it becomes less dense, it rises to the surface. At the surface, it cools, which causes it to become more dense, and that causes it to sink. It gets heated, and the process starts all over again.
How is destiny involved in the process of convection?
It's the change (decrease) in density with heating that produces the currents that we refer to as convection currents.
Heat in convection travels through what?
Convection is the transport of heat by movement of the medium involved. In domestic heating this is air, a heating element raises the temperature of the air local to it, this air is therefore less dense than the bulk of the air in the room and rises, so creating air currents and spreading the heat around.In industry the medium could be some other gas, or a liquid
Is radiation convection or conduction involved when a lake freezes?
Lake freezes first at the surface is convection involved
How is density involved in convection?
In convection less molecules occupy large volume as in air to reduce the density.
What force is involved in the development of surface currents?
The Moon
What mode of heat exchange is involved in wind chill?
Convection
Which method of energy transfer mostly involved in weather?
Convection.
What is The change from pangaea to the present configuration of the continents involved?
convection
What cloud is involved in a supercell?
As with all thunderstorms, a supercell takes the form off a cumulonimbus cloud.
How friction is involved in the process of creating currents?
Actually charges could be created by rubbing two different insulating bodies resulting in charges at rest.These type of charges come under Electrostatics which can be also called as Frictional electricity.
Is the process of convection involved in the opperation of cooling systems to remove heat energy?
no.
Why is it important to study ocean currents?
It is important because when your looking at historical events in history involving currents most of the events have involved weather
