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.
What method of heat transfer plays a central role in transferring heat energy within the atmosphere and the ocean?
Convection does.
The method of heat transfer that plays a central role in transferring heat energy within the atmosphere and the ocean is?
convection
What is the role of molecular action in convection and conduction?
The role of molecular action in convection is the that molecules that are relative to one another create kinetic energy that is the end result. The role of molecular action in conduction is that molecules collide with one another to create a transfer of heat or energy.
How the heat energy is transferred from the walls of the kettle?
When you heat water on a stove, thermal energy is transferred. Heat from the stove moves to the water, and then the water absorbs it.
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 are convection currents important in the Earth's system?
Deep, cold-water currents play an important role in creating the ocean oasis of the film. Convection currents play a role in the circulation of fluids. Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks.

What role does heat play in the rock cycle?
Heat energy from the sun causes water to change to a liquid to a gas
What method of heat transfer plays the primary role in the formation of an air mass?
Convection is the main heat transfer in the troposphere.
What function do the wind-driven currents play in the transport of heat energy in the oceans?
I actually don't really know the whole answer, so here it goes... (If you actually want to know the answer go to a web page and find it out!) Hope this helps, and have a nice day!
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.
Does the ocean currents play a major role on earths rotation?
no
What role does the sun play in ocean currents?
This cannot be answered.
What role does ocean currents play on Rome?
the Atlantic ocean
What method of heat transfer plays a central role in transferring heat energy within the atmosphere and the ocean?
Convection does.
The method of heat transfer that plays a central role in transferring heat energy within the atmosphere and the ocean is?
