How an hawk or eagle could use convection currents to soar upward without flapping its wings?
Current caused by the expansion of a liquid, solid, or gas as its temperature rises. The expanded material, being less dense, rises, while colder, denser material sinks. Material of neutral buoyancy moves laterally. Convection currents arise in the atmosphere above warm land masses or seas, giving rise to sea breezes and land breezes, respectively.Read more: What_is_a_convection_current
How are land breezes and sea breezes related?
Land breezes and sea breezes are both breeze, or cool air.
What do geologist believe is the driving force for sea floor spreading?
convection currents in the mantle.
Are hurricanes strong sea breezes?
No. A sea breeze is a relatively gentle air movement resulting from temperature differences between the land and the sea. Sea breezes can ocassionally produce thunderstorms, but not organized systems like hurricanes. A hurricane is a violent tropical cyclone that develops over tropical ocean water. A hurricane is an independent, self-sustaining storm system not related to the regional convection that causes land and sea breezes.
When was Sea Breezes - Magazine - created?
Sea Breezes - Magazine - was created in 1919.
How are sea breeze and land breeze alike?
land and sea breezes are alike because they are both convection currents.
Which describes the way a convection current moves?
Convection currents are currents caused by the expansion of a liquid, solid, or gas as its temperature increases.while colder, denser material sinks.. Convection currents arise in the atmosphere above warm land masses or seas, giving rise to sea breezes and land breezes, respectively. In some heating systems, convection currents are used to carry hot water upwards in pipes. Convection currents in the hot, solid rock of the Earth's mantle help to drive the movement of the rigid plates making up the Earth's surface .
How does convection cause sea breezes at the sea side?
During the day, the land by the sea is heated by the sun. Through convection, this heated air rises upward and then in order to replace this heated air, cooler air is drawn from the surface of the sea, creating a sea breeze.
How do convection currents affect the lithosphere?
Convection currents in the asthenosphere helps form subduction zones at convergent boundaries and ridges at divergent boundaries. This slow and continuous convection causes the plates on earth's crust to move.
Does earth's rotation cause land breezes or sea breezes?
Neither the Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect. Land and sea breezes are caused by temperature differences.

What is the primary force that causes the sea-floor to spread?
Convection currents
How does convection affect the breezes at the ocean?
the sea water heats up or cools down the air so it will make the air sink or rise which is to do with convection.
What is cool breezes during the day cause by differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water?
Sea breezes
In which layer do convection currents causing sea floor spreading occur?
mantle
Compare and contrasts sea breezes and land breezes?
Sea breezes come from the sea onto the land, and land breezes come from the land onto the sea.
Compare and Contrast sea breezes and land breezes?
Sea breezes come from the sea onto the land, and land breezes come from the land onto the sea.
