earth rotates and this makes water flow in different divections.
The Coriolis Effect is the phenomenon that effects global winds. A convection cell is a form of wind and this is the first part of the coriolis effect.
Without the Coriolis effect, there would likely be only three major atmospheric convection cells in each hemisphere: the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell, and the Polar cell. The Coriolis effect causes the deflection of winds and influences the formation of these cells, leading to a more complex circulation pattern. Without it, air would rise at the equator and sink at the poles, resulting in a simpler, direct flow of air from the equator to the poles. This would significantly alter global wind patterns and climate systems.

It will move the tectonic plates
It will move the tectonic plates
I think you mean how does it affect cells but im not sure
The force that causes a convection cell to turn is the Coriolis force, which is a result of the rotation of the Earth. This force deflects moving air or water in the cell, leading to the rotation that defines a convection cell.
Global winds are influenced by the convection cells that arise from the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which creates areas of rising and sinking air. As the Earth rotates, these winds are deflected due to the Coriolis effect, causing them to curve rather than flow in a straight line. This results in distinct wind patterns, such as trade winds and westerlies, which play a crucial role in global weather systems and ocean currents. Thus, the combination of convection and the Earth's rotation creates the complex behavior of global wind patterns.
The combination of convection cells found at every 30 degrees of latitude and the Coriolis effect produces patterns of air circulation called global winds. Local winds blow from any direction and move short distances. Local winds are caused by unequal heating within a small area.
The convection cells radiate heat.
Convection in the mantle creates movement of tectonic plates, which can affect the lithosphere by causing it to move, leading to processes like subduction or seafloor spreading. The convection cells help drive the movement of the lithospheric plates on the Earth's surface.
billions iof convection cells exist there could be millions billions
