Convection currents are caused by heat dispersal which results in the circulation of material such as air, water, or earth's mantle. Once hot air (or gas) has begun to move, it pushes against adjacent air, mixing until that air reaches the same temperature. Just as you have a cold room with a space heater. Turn it on without a fan, and come back later, the hot air has pushed itself around and warmed the cool air around it.
What else can I help you with?
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
What causes both earthquakes and volcanoes?
Convection currents.
What causes the convection currents in the asthenosphere?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
What is primary causes of crustal movement?
Convection currents in the mantle.
What causes heat in troposphere i love MACKY?
convection currents
Which layer of the earth do convection currents occur in?
Convection currents occur in the mantle, which is the middle layer of the Earth. The heat generated from the core causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in a circular pattern, creating convection currents.
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
What do scientists think causes movements of the pates?
Convection currents in the mantle.
What is the primary force that causes the sea-floor to spread?
Convection currents
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
What causes global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
What causes convection currents in the earth's mantle and oceans and in the air?
Heat differentials.
