Convection currents happen in a fluid that is on top of a hot base.
1. Cold fluid is heated up at the bottom
2. The now hot fluid rises up and is replaced by other cold fluid
3. When the hot fluid gets to the top, it flows to a side (pushed by hotter fluid rising)
4. It cools down and flows to the bottom again
5. REPETITION
It falls back down
Yes. Convection is a type of energy and a convection current is, well, the phrase for its currents. So yeah, convection and convection current are the same.
During convection, hot material rises due to its lower density, creating a convection current. As the material moves to the side, it cools down, becomes denser, and eventually sinks, completing the circular pattern of convection. This process is driven by temperature differences within the fluid.
A convection current, however, this can also occur with gases.
there is no synonyms or antonyms for convection current
How does a convection current move rock
Convection current is a stream of fluid propelled by thermal convection. Convection is mostly around gas and liquid
The Gulf Stream is an example of convection current.
The Gulf Stream is an example of convection current.
In a convection current, heat rises.
That means convection current
During convection, hot material rises due to its lower density, creating a current that transfers heat from the hot material to cooler material. This process then causes the cooler material to sink and cycle back towards the heat source, creating a continuous convection current.
