∙ 9y agoThere are a number of places where you would find convection currents. In most cases they will happen within the geosphere through plate tectonics, hydrosphere through ocean currents and in the atmosphere in form of winds.

∙ 13y agoLots of places; in the mantle, in the crust, in the ocean, etc.
For example at mid-ocean ridges: cold seawater infiltrates the oceanic crust some distance away from the ridge where it is heated; subsequently, the heated water rises up again and is exhalated at the ridge.

∙ 9y agoAccording to scientists, convection currents occur where heat is most likely to spread quickly which is through liquids and gases.
Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoConvection currents are likely to be found in liquids (when heated) and in gases, like during land and sea breezes.

What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Who discovered convection currents?
Arthur Holmes discovered convection currents. He made two contributions on how the planet earth works. He was the very first scientist to understand convection currents in the earth.
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?

How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
Convection currents discovered date?
convection currents discovery date
Where do you find currents?
the kitchen is a main place to find convection you can find it in the oven in the toaster and in the microwave
What direction do convection currents-move?
Convection currents move in upward direction
Do scientists think plates are moved by convection currents or volcanoes?
convection currents.
Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
