What is convection in liquid?
The convection is a current caused by warmer liquid rising and cooler liquid sinking.
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called?
Molecules
A circular movements when heated fluids rises and is replaced by a cooler fluid is called?
Convection
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called an?
conduction because it heats everything
What causes the sea floor to change?
Convection currents push the plates around. These are the circulations of the magma in the mantle, caused by the cooler magma at the surface sinking lower into the mantle, heating up, and rising to the surface again. The circular motion acts kind of like a conveyor belt to move the crust about.
Which way round does convectional current flow?
A convection current flows in a circular pattern, with warmer material rising and cooler material sinking (due to density differences). It should not be used with conveNtional current in electricty.
The circular movement of heated materials to a cooler area?
cycle
What generally happens to the temperature of sinking air?
It tends to decrease as it mixes with cooler air underneath. (Meanwhile it warms up the cooler air it blends into).
What is a cooler area on the sun called?
A cooler area on the sun is called a sunspot
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called a?
A convection current, however, this can also occur with gases.
What is a cooler area on the sun's surface?
An area on the sun that is cooler is called a sunspot.
What are dark cooler patches on the sun called?
They are called, sunspots.
