It is responsible for the wind because when the atoms have direct contact, the heat gets transfered. So, that causes wind.

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?
Wind.
Yes they do.
Yes, insolation, which is the amount of energy a surface receives from the sun in kilowatts, at is less at the poles than the equator. This causes convection and in turn causes wind and ocean currents, but other influences, such as Earth's rotation and topography are also responsible.
Convection currents can be found in real-world examples such as in the atmosphere, where they drive weather patterns and wind movements. In the ocean, convection currents play a role in the circulation of water and nutrient distribution. In the Earth's mantle, convection currents are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of volcanic activity.
Yes, wind is a result of convection currents. The Sun heats up the Earth's surface unevenly, causing air to heat up and rise in some areas and cool and sink in others. This movement of air creates wind as it tries to equalize temperature and pressure differences.
Convection
There are multiple convection currents within the Earth's mantle. These currents are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates, which leads to processes such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Yes, of course...
Ocean currents are primarily driven by a combination of convection and wind patterns. Convection currents are created by the temperature differences in the water, causing warm water to rise and cold water to sink. Wind patterns also influence the direction and strength of ocean currents. Radiation and conduction do not play significant roles in the formation of ocean currents.
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
