What role do wind and ocean play in climate?
they effect the weather for how hot or how cold
The circular motion of liquids or gases due to density differences while undergoing convection is known as a convection current The transfer of what form of energy leads to convection currents?
heat energy
Does convection occur in the core of a star?
No, Convection does not occur in the Core. For example, in the Sun, the convection occurs only after the Radiation zone. In the radiation zone the energy is transported by radiation (ie, by photons). At about 0.8 solar radius the density and temperature are not enough to transport the energy by radiation, so convection sets in.
Convection currents which affect weather and climate are created by?
Air convection currents are created by a combination of the sun heating the air closer to the equator making it rise and cooling it in the arctic regions making air descend. That combined with the rotation of the Earth causing a Coriolis Effect making the winds that travel west to east.
The formation of convection currents is due to changes in density Density can be described as?
A volume of less-than-average density of a liquid will start to rise in the same manner as a balloon. As it rises, volumes of average density flow in below. the surrounding fluid falls to fill the volume left by the fluid flowing in underneath, and, finally the rising volume pushes fluid up and outward. This generates a circular flow which will slow to a stop once equilibrium is reached. If there is a heat source in the fluid it will continually generate lower density fluid, and the convection flow will become continuous.
What three things play a role in convection?
Heat source, fluid density, and constraining factor (ie the glass for a glass of water, thermal gradient for the atmosphere) are three things that play a role in convection.
How does density play a role in the atmosphere?
it doesnt play a role
What role do convection currents play as you heat a pot of water?
The role convection currents play as you heat a pot of water is transferring heat by movements of a liqiud or a gas because when when convection occurs it occurs in a circular pattern.
How is density involved in convection?
In convection less molecules occupy large volume as in air to reduce the density.
What role do wind and ocean play in climate?
they effect the weather for how hot or how cold
What role does the more opaque convection zone play in the Suns interior?
The role that the more opaque convection zone plays in the Sun's interior is transferring energy by moving matter. You can sum that all up in one word; convection. Hope i could help!!!!!!
How is convection related to density?
It is related by the grams that are measured by density
What role does gravity play in air density?
it pushes things down
Is temperature the only factor that drives convection?
No Density also drives convection.
What is the transfer of energy that occurs due to density differences in the air?
Convection.
Differences in a material's is what drives convection?
Differences in a materials __________ is what drives convection
What is a good sentence for convection?
Convection is the movement of matter due to differences in density.
