Tornadoes form during thunderstorm, which are driven by convection. Thunderstorms develop, in simple terms, when warm, moist air rises because it is less dense than surrounding cooler air. Part of tornado formation may also involve air sinking after being cooled by rain.

What do these tornadoes with there currents create around the earth to protect it from the suns solar wind?

Tornadoes have nothing to do with protecting Earth from the solar wind. Convection currents in Earth's core create a magnetic field that protects against the solar wind.


Do convection currents have to do with tornadoes?

When convection occurs with very warm, moist air, thunderstorms can form. As warm, moist air flows up in a convection cell it cools and the moisture in it condenses. The condensation releases energy that powers the thunderstorm. Given the right conditions and the right interaction of wind currents, that thunderstorm may go on to produce a tornado.


What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?

Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.

Do convection currents cause earths heat?

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?
