How do surface currents differ from density currents?
The same thing! Deep Currents Occur when the density of the water increases. Density is based on two main things it is the civility is how much salt and other solids are in it and it is also the temperature of the water.The lower the temperature the lower the dense the water becomes. The denser the water the more it was to go down. The less dense the water wants to rise. The temperature is what causes the dense. Deep current:A streamline movement of ocean water far below the surface.
Where do convection currents happen?
Convection currents occur in any fluid in which there is a temperature differance. Most convection currents occur in the mantle, the layer of semi-liquid rock below the crust. These currents are the reason behind plate tectonics.
What happens to convection currents when the liquid or gas is no longer heat?
Nothing actually happens to convection currents when heat is no longer supplied. The currents are produced by applying heat, most often to the bottom. The warmed fluid is 'lighter' than the cold fluid surrounding so it rises to allow colder fluid to replace it and be heated. As soon as the heat is removed, all the fluid rapidly comes to a single temperature and convevtion does not happen! An opposite effect happens when cold air sits on the surface of a lake. In this case the water at the surface cools, gets 'heavier' and sinks. In this case the convection currents operates downwards.

How does surface evaporation happen?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
What will happen if the density of surface water in the lake does not change?
The water will be calm, because a change in density causes water to move and can also cause deep water currents
What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
When did Tejeros Convention happen?
Tejeros Convention happened on 1897-03-22.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cools down?
the convection currents will stop
What do you think would happen to water vapor that condenses on a surface that has a temperature below 0 degrees celsius?
Water vapours that condenses on a surface having temperature below 0 0C are converted into ice which is often known frost.
What happen with temperature rise up?
I mean what will happening when the see surface tempreture rising up? No doubt that water will covering the land. And the mostly I want know all the aspect of the things will happen in the globle.
What might happen on earth surface if magma rises in a convection current?
Most convection currents exist in the mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust. As the semi-molten rock heats up, it rises closer to the surface as magma and hence cools on the earth surface to form rocks.
