What will happen to earth if the convection currents stopped?
THE EARTH WOULD END. All things would stop eventually, leaving a hot core and a very, VERY dead Earth. Earth would PROBABLY stop moving, disrupting the Solar System. SO: Convection currents, if you stop, the universe will END.
What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually cools down?
the convection currents will stop
What caused the shifting earth?
Convection in the earth's mantle drives the movement of the tectonic plates.
Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
What is the mechanical layer of Earth that has the most active convection currents?
The Earth's core.
Which of the following is NOT an example of convection?
Earth receiving heat from the sun.
Is the sun heating they earth the best example of convection?
The heating alone is not, no, but the convection it sets up, thus forming winds and weather systems, is a valid example.
Does radiation heat the earth through convection?
Yes. Radiation waves given off by the sun, heat the Earth through convection. Convection is the movement of heat transfer through liquids or gases, as seen in this example.
Which is not an example of a system with a convection current?
Adhesion is a non example
Is a campfire an example of a convection current?
no. boiling water and earth tectonic plates are good examples
What are the primary ways that the heat energy is transferred through the earth system?
Radiation, Conduction, and Convection.
Three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through the Earth's system?
conduction, convection, radiation
What is a non-example of convection?
Adhesion is a non-example of convection.
What is a non example of convection?
Adhesion is a non-example of convection.
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through radiation from the Sun (solar energy).
Heat being transferred from the sun to earth is an example of which process convection expansion radiation or conduction?
radiation
What produced convection currents in Earth's atmosphere?
what produces convection currents in earth's atmosphere
