I need help with this oe too
Yeah you are right convection currents are movement of the air
It's the change (decrease) in density with heating that produces the currents that we refer to as convection currents.
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
uneven heating of the earth by the sun
wind
Earth's Plates
Convection currents are the movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. In the case of the Earth, convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
The three factors that set convection currents in motion are: the heating and cooling of fluid, change in its density, and the force of gravity combine to set it in motion.
convectional currents in the mantle are themselves driven by the heat of the core. the heat is partly created of overlaying material. A lava lamp is a perfect example of convectional
The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.
Differences in temperature on earth
the form of energy would be heat. convection currents are caused by uneven heating of air or fluid. The warmer fluid is more boyant than the cooler fluid, so it floats to the top, and creates a "convection current"
