Can air be warmed or cooled by the surface?
This is a very easy question to answer . Yes the air can be cooled or warmed by the surface below it because say if there was to be a earthquake right now in the ocean the heating of the surfaceunder the water would cause the water the make enormous wave and for te world to shake and depending on how hot the surface is heating.

How do differences in density cause currents to flow both in the surface waters of the oceans and in the bottom waters of the ocean?
The differing densities of water create a consistent movement between the various thermal layers. As water is cooled, it actually expands, so it rises, and as it is warmed it sinks.
Where is air warmed and cooled in the human body?
in the esophagus.___.
When in a cycle in which air is warmed warm air rises is cooled and cooled air sinks is a what?
whay is it
What kind of currents are cause by temperature differences in the water?
The differing densities of water create a consistent movement between the various thermal layers. As water is cooled, it actually expands, so it rises, and as it is warmed it sinks.
How do ocean surface currents cause milder climates?
Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.
What are convection currents in a pond?
Convection currents in water (or any fluid) are the movement of the water caused by a difference in temperature between the upper and lower layers of the water. As water is heated it becomes lighter than cooler water so it floats up. Conversely, as water is cooled it get heavier so it sinks. Assume the weather has been warm and the water in a pond is warm, then a cold spell comes through. The cold air cools the water at the surface causing it to sink. As it goes down into the warmer water it's heated and as more cooled heavier water sinks it pushes the newly warmed water up. This continuing process will eventually cause this original cooled and rewarmed water to reach the surface where it will be cooled and sink again and the process repeats until the entire pond is at the same temperature. This sinking and rising is called convection and the moving water is called convection currents.
What is A cycle in which air is warmed warm air rises air cooled and cooled air sinks in a what?
This describes what happens in a convection cycle.
