How do convection currents distribute heat in the oceans?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
What is heat energy moving in currents?
convection
What are moving currents of fluid that transfer heat?
Convection
Heat transfer by movement of currents in the fluid?
true
Why transfer of heat in fluids takes place by convection currents?
Because basically fluids are not good conductors. Moreover particles are free to move and so they can carry heat energy from one place to the other in the fluid medium and hence convection becomes easier
Which of the folling can form in the geosphere and carry heat from earth mantle toward the surface conduction currents infared currents convection currents or surface currents?
in the atmosphere.
What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?
Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.
Explain how heat energy carried by ocean currents influences climate?
The ocean currents carry it ................................................if i knew I wouldn't tell you suckers ;)
Metals conduct both heat and electricity because?
Free moving electrons can carry both heat and electric currents throughout a system.
How does temperature affect odour-smell?
Heat causes convection currents in the air, these currents carry the oudour particulates aroudn the room and eventually to a perosn to smell. Heat will cause the odour to spread out more thinly.
What is the name of the movement of material from the center of the earth outwards this helps to carry heat and move plates?
convection currents
What do cold currents carry?

How do large bodies of water affect the climate of coastal areas?
Ocean currents carry warmer water from the tropics into colder regions. The heat from that warmer water escapes into the atmosphere as it creates warmer, rainier weather than might otherwise be expected.
How do currents heat in the ocean?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
What happens to convection currents if the heat source is removed?
The convection currents will eventaully stop because there is no heat to keep them moving.
What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
