What heat transfer occurs in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
How do convection currents distribute heat in the oceans?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
What happens to particles during the process of convection?
The particles move around from one place to another through the flow of thermal energy during convection.
Why convection occurs only the liquid s and gases only but not in solids?
The molecules in solids are not free to move around as they are in liquids and gasses. It's the movement of the molecules that creates the convection currents.
Which theory explains the force powerful enough to send gigantic sliding around the earths?
convection
How do you use convection current In a sentences?
Convection current is a stream of fluid propelled by thermal convection. Convection is mostly around gas and liquid
Is it true that the flow that transfers heat within a fluid is called a convection current?
In a convection current, heat flows with the heated molecules as they move around in the liquid or gas. In a solid, the heat transfers via condition
Why cant convection currents form if they are heated from the top?
The convection current can't form if heated at the top because then, the hot air would just keep getting hotter; no air moves around.
How are the parts of a convection current in the mantle related to the plate motions?
convection currents in the mantle basically make waves and the waves move up through the layers of the earth causing the plates to move around a bit
The circulatory system blank nutrients gasses liquids and heat around the body?
The circulatory system transports nutrients, gases, liquids, and heat around the body. It also circulates and carries these around the body.
Movement of plates on earth's suface?
Constant. The tectonic plates of the earth are floating on the mantle, convection current cells cause them to slide around.
Where does convection current occur on earth?
Convection occurs towards the center of the Earth. The center is mostly made of molten iron, which is a fluid. Because convection is the transfer of heat throughout fluids, if one area is very hot, then the iron flows around and makes other areas warmer.
What system transports substances around the body?
It transports materials
What transports materials around the cell?
endoplasmic reticulum
Convection currents near a candle why is the air near the candle rising?
The air near the lit candle rises because it expands and gets lighter in density whereas the air around is colder and more dense that sinks thus makes a convection current.
What transports lipids around the cell?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the name of the liquid that transports food around the body?
Blood
