How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
Where is earths surface heated more south pole or north pole?
it is different in different points of the year.
In the sense that as the earth's surface is heated by the light from the Sun it is heated unequally describe how this heat energy is redistributed globally?
Through deep ocean currents and atmosphere currents i.i the elnemo (high speed jet wind current) circulating the globe.
How is heat from the Earth's interior transferred to the crust?
Via currents of heated rock in the mantle which rise toward the surface. Very slowly.
What pulls the earths crust?
The earths crust is moved rather than pulled by things called convection currents. This is when heated rock from the earths core rises up and reaches the crust where it cools. It then sinks down again and carries on in a circle which moves the crust
