What are two layers of earth in which convection currents takes place?
dont known tell me
Where do convection currents take place in the earth?
Convection currents are located in the astenosphere in boiling water and lots of other places
What are the convection currents?
Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock. The heat transfer function of convection currents drives the earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather and geology. Convection is different from conduction, which is a transfer of heat between substances in direct contact with each other.
How do convection currents work in the mantle?
What forces would lead to the movement of the plates over the surface of the earth? At this time it is believed this movement results from mantle convection. Deep within the earth there is a large amount of heat coming from two sources: the magma remnants of the Great Bombardment, and radiation from radioactive elements. This heat, in accordance with the 2 ndlaw of thermodynamics, must flow to a cooler place, and subsequently rises to the surface of the Earth. If the Earth were smaller, this heat would flow by conduction, but because of the relatively large size of the Earth, convection also takes place. Thus, as in heating a pot of water on a stove, convection currents are established within the earth, which bring warm material to the surface and send cooler material to the interior.
Why do convection currents take place in the atmosphere?
cold air is less dense
What are two layers of earth in which convection currents takes place?
dont known tell me
What are two layers in the Earth in which convection currents take place?
Mantle is one, and I'm gonna guess core.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Witch two layers do convection currents take place?
idkk,
Why does convection take place in the atmosphere?
Convection take place because of convection currents
Where do convection currents take place in the earth?
Convection currents are located in the astenosphere in boiling water and lots of other places
Which layer of the earth is the place where convection occurs?
Convection currents rese and sink through the mantle and the liquid outer core. In Earth's mantle, large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents. Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle.
How does convection transfer heat from one place to another on earth?
Through the movement of winds and currents.
What are convection currents and where are they found?
Convection currents in the mantle are streams of fluid produced by the process of heat transfer from one place to another. The earth gets very hot as you go nearer to the core. The mantle is thus heated up as it is right next to the core. As a result, convection currents are formed.*Core: It is a spherical zone that lies at the center of the earth.*Mantle: It is the layer surrounding the outer core of the earth.
What is our risk level from convection currents?
Convection currents are caused by a rising temperature of liquid in the earth's mantle. The risk is that the pressure will build up and, through volcanoes, the liquid will be pushed out. The risk level varies from place to place and is carefully monitored by geologists.
