Yes they do.
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, 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.
False.
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.
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
convection currents in the atmosphere
It is responsible for the wind because when the atoms have direct contact, the heat gets transfered. So, that causes wind.
The wind is caused by a combination of the Earth's rotation and the heat of the sun causing convection currents in the atmosphere.
Essentially, yes: the Sun's heat creates convection-currents.
