What else can I help you with?
Where do convection currents take place in the earth?
Convection currents are located in the astenosphere in boiling water and lots of other places
The large circular-moving current systems that are within an ocean basin are called?
'gyres' there are 5 main gyres; North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
How do convection currents work in the mantle?
What forces would lead to the movement of the plates over the surface of the earth? At this time it is believed this movement results from mantle convection. Deep within the earth there is a large amount of heat coming from two sources: the magma remnants of the Great Bombardment, and radiation from radioactive elements. This heat, in accordance with the 2 ndlaw of thermodynamics, must flow to a cooler place, and subsequently rises to the surface of the Earth. If the Earth were smaller, this heat would flow by conduction, but because of the relatively large size of the Earth, convection also takes place. Thus, as in heating a pot of water on a stove, convection currents are established within the earth, which bring warm material to the surface and send cooler material to the interior.
The water within the zone of saturation is called?
Groundwater
How is energy transferred within the earth's atmosphere and throughtout the oceans?
Radiation is the only way i came up with. :/
A convection current transfers heat or air within a fluid?
Yes, a convection current is a process in which heat is transferred through a fluid (liquid or gas) by the movement of the fluid itself. This movement occurs because warmer fluid is less dense and rises, while cooler fluid is more dense and sinks, creating a circular flow that transfers heat.
Is the heat source for the convection current in the mantle in the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Does the flow that transfer heat within a fluid is called convection current?
Yes, the flow that transfers heat within a fluid is called a convection current. It occurs when warmer, less dense fluid rises, and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a circular flow pattern which helps distribute heat.
The flow that transfers heat within a fluid?
Convection
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid by a process called what?
convection
During convection hot material then moves to the side and . This circular pattern is called a convection current?
During convection, hot material rises due to its lower density, creating a convection current. As the material moves to the side, it cools down, becomes denser, and eventually sinks, completing the circular pattern of convection. This process is driven by temperature differences within the fluid.
Thermal energy transferred by circulation of liquid or gas is called?
Convection is the thermal energy transferred by the circulation of liquid or gas. It involves the movement of particles within the fluid, carrying heat energy from one place to another.
Which process causes transfer of energy by air current within earth atmosphere?
convection
How does convection current occur when part of a fluid is heated?
When part of a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating a convection current. As it rises, it displaces cooler, denser fluid, which then descends to replace the rising fluid. This continuous circulation results in a convection current within the fluid.
What does the word convection mean in science terms?
Most substances expand as they get hotter. When a gas or a liquid expands within an environment of denser and cooler gas or liquid, it will rise. What often happens to the rising material is that at some point it cools off and returns downward, so a circular current is formed, rising and falling. That is called a convection current. Convection can be defined as a heat driven motion of a fluid.
