- Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock. The heat transfer function of convection currents drives the earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather and geology. Convection is different from conduction, which is a transfer of heat between substances in direct contact with each other.

What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually cools down?
the convection currents will stop
How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
What causes the convection currents in the asthenosphere?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.

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.
How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
Convection currents discovered date?
convection currents discovery date
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
Do scientists think plates are moved by convection currents or volcanoes?
convection currents.
What direction do convection currents-move?
Convection currents move in upward direction
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.
What produced convection currents in Earth's atmosphere?
