Convection is the mode of heat transfer, referring to the transfer of heat energy due to bulk motion of a fluid.
"Convection current" is the name of that bulk motion of the fluid, the transfer of MASS. I prefer to call it buoyantly driven flow. It doesn't flow due to convection, convection is due to if flowing. It flows due to buoyancy in the case of free convection.

Do convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator?
Yes, convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator.
Can you use convection in a sentence?
It was heated by convection currents
How does Convection on the body work?
When the skin is exposed to open air or some other fluid, heat is removed from it by convection currents. The rate of heat removal is proportional to the exposed surface area and to the temperature difference between the skin and the surrounding air.
A radiator heats a room by heating the air which circulates in convection currents?
Yeah you are right convection currents are movement of the air
How is destiny involved in the process of convection?
It's the change (decrease) in density with heating that produces the currents that we refer to as convection currents.
Do convection currents create heat?
No. Convection currents are the result of a temperature difference between one depth and another in fluid.
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.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.

What is the link between the radioactive decay of the earth's core and convection currents?
The radioactive decay produces heat energy, which keeps the convection currents moving.
The difference in air temperature over land compared to over water causes convection currents in the atmosphere. How would a person at the beach experience these convection currents?
