What kind of decay occurs in the mantle and releases energy that drives convection currents?
Huh?
What type of precipitation occurs when warm air rises from a hot surface?
Convection Precipitation.
Where does convection occur?
Convection occurs when and where a fluid is in a gravity field and heat is applied to its base.
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.
Do convection currents happen when cool air rises?
No. Convection occurs when warm air rises and cool air sinks. It is not limited to air, either, but can occur in virtually any liquid or gas.
What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
Why is this convection?
convection occurs in fluids such as water and air
What occurs in mercury of a thermometer convection or conduction?
convection
Why is convection?
convection occurs in fluids such as water and air
What does convection cell mean?
It refers to a region in which convection occurs.
How do you use convection in a sentence?
When convection occurs in the air, winds are formed.
What is the transfer of energy that occurs due to density differences in the air?
Convection.
Convection always occurs in what two forms?
forced and natural convection possibly
What is the difference between conduction and convection a 5th grade answer please?
Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.
What does convection only occur in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
Who is heat transferred in convection?
Heat transferred in convection occurs through movements of fluids.
What usually occurs in gases and liquids?
Convection
