it causes the difference in density, denser water flows to the less dense parts

The main cause of global convection currents is?
uneven heating of the earth by the sun
Can uneven heating of air in earth's atmosphere cause convection to occur?
yes
How does the uneven heating of earth cause convection current to form?
yes
Does uneven heating of air in earth's atmosphere can cause convection to occur?
yes
Could Uneven heating of air in earths atmosphere can cause convection to occur?
Yes, that's the basic cause of convection.
What cause the global convection current 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.

How does uneven heating of the earth cause ocean currents?
I have exactly no idea. LOL. TRICKED YOU. sorry.
How does uneven heating of land and water cause tornadoes?
Uneven heating leads to convection and thus wind currents. Heating of water leads to evaporation, which moistens the air. As these moist air masses are moved by wind currents number of conditions, such as collision with cooler or drier air, can trigger thunderstorms as the moisture condenses. If the wind varies in speed and direction with altitude it can start some thunderstorms rotating. This rotating can go on to produce a tornado.
How does the sun cause ocean currents on the Earth?
ummm...i think the sun powers the wind, and the wind powers the currents. that's what all of my sources say, but if im wrong, then.....well yeah you get the point.
What cause most of the heating in the troposphere?
The sun heats the Earth, and then longwave radiation heats the troposphere via convection currents.
What is produced as the result of unequal warming of the earth?
The differing air temperatures cause the winds.
