Is it true that wind are examples of convection currents?
Not conduction, but convection currents, are what drive winds and many ocean currents.
What are circulating currents in a fluid called?
If it is a result of temperature differences, it is called convection.
How does the temperature and density drive the convection currents in the mantle?
Temperature differences in the mantle drive convection currents because warm material is less dense and rises, while cooler material is more dense and sinks. This movement creates a circular flow as the cooler material sinks and gets heated, while the warmer material rises and cools down. The density variations caused by the temperature differences are a key driver of convection in the mantle.
What are convection currents?
convectional currents in the mantle are themselves driven by the heat of the core. the heat is partly created of overlaying material. A lava lamp is a perfect example of convectional
What do temperature differences between the equator and the two poles produce?
convection currents in the atmosphere
What areconvection currents?
Convection currents is the circular movement in which particles travel in.
Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?

What is circular movement of air that causes land breezes?
Convection currents
How do cells appear when convection currents are causing their motion?
move in circular motion.
What are circulating currents in a fluid called?
If it is a result of temperature differences, it is called convection.
What do convection currents form?
because of differences in pressure and density in a fluid
What forms because of differences in temperature and density of a fluid?
convection currents
What do the differences between the equator and the two poles produce?
convection currents in the atmosphere

What describes the circular motion of heat below the earth's surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
