How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
How do air currents help to spread fungi?
The air currents blow the fungi which helps it spread.
What is the difference between wind and currents?
wind is air in motion,while currents is the distribution of air
What creates the currents of air?
Air currents are caused by the sun's uneven heating of the earth, Water Currents (mostly known as Ocean Currents) are generated by wind, density differs in water masses causes by temperature and salinity variations,gravity, and also events such as earthquakes
What are the basic 2 types currents?
You can have electrical currents, or currents in fluids such as water or air.
What are some ways that ocean currents and wind are similar?
They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.
Wind is created by what type of currents in the Earth's atmosphere?
Air currents.
Why are there warm air currents over motorways?
Because of convection currents
What obstacles force air to rise?
air currents
Is the vertical movement of air currents due to temperature variations?
What is the vertical movenment to air currents due to temperature variations?
A radiator heats a room by heating the air which circulates in convection currents?
Yeah you are right convection currents are movement of the air
How air masses move across the US?
In the United States air masses move across the country by air currents. These air currents are pushed by either hot or cold air masses.
