What else can I help you with?
What causes the hot materials beneath ocean floor to move?
Convection currents.
What causes the oceanic lithosphere to move away from the mid-ocean ridge?
it is caused by convection currents
Are wind and ocean currents formed by convection?
Yes, insolation, which is the amount of energy a surface receives from the sun in kilowatts, at is less at the poles than the equator. This causes convection and in turn causes wind and ocean currents, but other influences, such as Earth's rotation and topography are also responsible.
How does the uneven heating in the ocean cause convection currents?
it causes the difference in density, denser water flows to the less dense parts
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 is Major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean?
Vertical convection in both the ocean and atmosphere is caused by uneven HEATing.The source of energy for convection in the ocean and atmosphere is heating from the sun.
What causes a hurricane to get stronger?
Hurricanes strengthen when they encounter large amounts of moisture over warm ocean water with little to interfere in their convection.
Where are convection currents formed?
the ocean .
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What are some examles of convection?
A convection cell churning near mid-ocean ridges.
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
What is the major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmospheres and oceans?
Vertical convection in both the ocean and atmosphere is caused by uneven HEATing.The source of energy for convection in the ocean and atmosphere is heating from the sun.
