What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
Where in the earths layers are the convection currents found?
Lithosphere
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Gyres
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
How can an understanding of uniformitarianism help you to understand earths past?
Through Geological process.
How are convection currents in water like convection currents in earths mantle?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
How do the earths plates move?
Currents in the magma that exists in the deeper layers of the earth. They're called convection currents.
What kind of currents drive earths plates?
Convection currents.
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
How does the rotation of earth modifies ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right

because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plated?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
When the path of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the Earths rotation it is called the?
The Coriolis effect
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
