When rock cools it becomes more dense and becomes to?
sink below the surface.
What causes the convection current to flow up at a point in the system?
When a material becomes hot enough, it rises because it less dense.
When rock cools it becomes more dense it tends to?
sink below the surface
When rock cools it becomes more dense and trends to?
sink below the surface.
Where cool dense water sinks its becomes more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Definition of Ocean Surface Currents?
well to be 100% honest, a surface current is basically a current on the surface. This particular current moves in a stream-like fashion on the surface of the ocean. A surface current can be short, wide, deep, or narrow.
Why a clip float in water?
Because the paperclip is not dense enough to break the surface tension of the water
When heat loses its heat does it become less dense and sink?
When air loses its heat it actually becomes more dense and sinks which starts a convection current
As the air on the surface of earth warms does its density increase or decrease?
As air gets warmer, it expands and becomes less dense.
What does the current do?
A convection current is a cycle. The way the cycle works is when the liquid is heated the particles become less dense as it rises to the top and then it becomes more dense so it comes back down again. Then the process starts again.
Magma tends to rise toward earths surface?
Yes, magma tends to rise towards the earth's surface. It does so because once melted it becomes less dense.
What make fluids rise and sink in a convection current?
Fluids rise and sink in a convection current due to differences in temperature and density. When a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating an upward flow. As it cools, it becomes more dense and sinks, creating a downward flow. This continuous cycle of heating and cooling drives the convection current.
