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.
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
What happens to convection currents if the heat source is removed?
The convection currents will eventaully stop because there is no heat to keep them moving.
Convection currents discovered date?

Who discovered the idea of plate tectonics and convection currents?
alfred wagner

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.
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?
Do convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator?
Yes, convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator.
