Convection currents in the earth originate in the mantle. The liquid moves in a circle pattern as the hotter magma rises and the cooler magma falls. This can also be observed in any fluid material, gases or liquids.

What indicates a convection current?
a convection current occurs when a potato picked by a farmer falls off the wagon and is eaten by a donkey ps: your welcome
Is it true that the flow that transfers heat within a fluid is called a convection current?
In a convection current, heat flows with the heated molecules as they move around in the liquid or gas. In a solid, the heat transfers via condition
How can mantle flow because its made of hot liquid magma?
Magma in the mantle moves in a current called a convection current. A convection current is a circular flow of a substance in which a hot substance rises, cools, sinks, gets hot again, and repeats. In this way, magma in the mantle flows in currents of more hot or more cool magma.
In order to complete a convection current the rising material must eventually?
Cool enough to increase in density and sink.
What is the slow movement of material inside Earth caused by?
The core of the earth contains radioactive material and this causes a convection current in the mantle.
Other ways to say convection current?
They are formed when warm and cold air masses meet in the atmosphere. They are found in the Troposphere.
What were the rules for conducting the Convention?
There should be a gas or a liquid so a convection current can be formed!
Is a convection current the same as a convection?
Yes. Convection is a type of energy and a convection current is, well, the phrase for its currents. So yeah, convection and convection current are the same.

A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called a?
A convection current, however, this can also occur with gases.
Why is there no convection current when the liquid in the test tube is heated at the top?
because convection currents are caused by the liquid being heated, becoming less dense due to increased kinetic energy and rising. if you are heating the top of the test tube, there is nowhere for them to 'rise' to, so no current is formed, as they do not reach a place where they cool and sink to the bottom. thus convection currents are only formed when heating the bottom of a test tube.
How would you use convection current in a sentence?
