When the air in the atmosphere unevenly warm by the suns wind currents are the result?
Essentially, yes: the Sun's heat creates convection-currents.
What happens when earth receives energy from the sun?
The side of the Earth facing the Sun has its surface, atmosphere and oceans heated but the energy form the Sun. This then starts convection currents in the atmosphere and oceans as the area of maximum heating (near the equator) tries to distribute the heat to the area of least heating (the poles). The convection currents are moderated by the Earth's rotation due to the Coriolis effect.
What caused the global convection current between the equator and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.

The zone of the sun where gases circulate?
convection
Are there convection currents on the sun?
yes!
In what two places do convection currents form when the Sun heats Earth?
In what two places do convection currents form when the Sun heats Earth
What drives the movement of convection currents?
The sun.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
What is convective zone?
A convection zone is the final process of the sun's radius. Energy from the sun is carried outward to the surface by convection currents.
Is the heat source for the convection currents the sun?
yes. because the sun brings heat
Is the heat source for the convection current in the mantle in the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Does the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle in the sun?
Bad grammar.
Do convection currents carry sunspots across the surface of the sun?
False
The Sun heats Earth's atmosphere unevenly This causes convection currents to move in large circles in the atmosphere What is the result of convection currents in the atmosphere?
Study Island answer: Wind
