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.
What do convection currents create over different regions of earth?
Convection currents create rain forests and deserts over different regions of Earth.
What does the Earth's molten core create?
Convection currents in the Earth's molten core are thought to be responsible for causing Earth's magnetic field.
What role does mantle convection play in plate motion?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does currents create a garbage patch in the ocean?
eddy currents

What do convection currents create over different regions of earth?
Convection currents create rain forests and deserts over different regions of Earth.
Do convection currents create heat?
No. Convection currents are the result of a temperature difference between one depth and another in fluid.
Convection currents in the earths crust causes volcanos?
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.
How did the African and the Eurasian plates create Mount Vesuvius?
convection currents
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How Does the Mantle Affect the Earth's Crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How have convection currents changed the surface of the earth?
Convection currents occur in the semi-molten mantle. They are created by heat within the earth. As the mantle heats, the rock rises. When it cools, it sinks back down. This movement causes changes in the surface of the Earth.
How do the mantle's convection currents move to form a mid-ocean ridge?
The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.
Convection currents within the Earth cause plate tectonics due to the movement of the mantle true or false?
No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.
What do these tornadoes with there currents create around the earth to protect it from the suns solar wind?
Tornadoes have nothing to do with protecting Earth from the solar wind. Convection currents in Earth's core create a magnetic field that protects against the solar wind.
