Well, just like soup's density expands or decreases at the bottom and top of a pot because of the heat, so does a hot spring because of the shallow magma chamber that causes the water to heat up to over 200°C. Hope this helped! :D

∙ 7y agoMost hot springs are heated from below and cooled by the air above. This tends to make the top of a spring cooler than the bottom. As a result the air-cooled water winks while the newly warmed water rises.

What might cause convection currents in hot spring?
I'm not sure but i think it's because the rock heats the water to over 200*c and keeps it under very high pressure
What is a scientist who studies waves and ocean currents?
A Hydrologist studies the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and an Oceanographer studies the ocean, either of whom might find themselves contributing to studies of waves and currents.
How a convection cell might occur on earth?
Uneven heating of different air masses causes the bottom ones to heat up, rise, cool off, and fall in another location in a cyclic motion.
What are the factors that might cause magma to form a laccolith instead of a sill?
the chemical and physical particles
Do I have arthritis or bursitis?
It might now be Arthritis, it could be you have been exercise too much that could cause the muscle pain. The best way to determine the real cause is to check it out with your doctor.
What might cause convection currents in the hot spring?
this is no use
What kinds of ocean currents might cause seafloor spreading?
Ocean currents have no effect whatsoever. Seafloor spreading is caused by convection currents in the rock of the earth's mantle.
What is a movement of convection currents inside earth might cause plates to move around?
I dont know please help?
What inside Earth might drive plate motion?
convection currents
How convection currents might be the cause of plate tectonics?
A convection current, in simple terms, is a cycle that keeps bringing the cool stuff down and the hot stuff up. This current could move the plates as they ride on top of the hot magma.
Does the liquid in the inner core or outer core flow in currents?
The inner core is solid, but the mantle is the only layer of Earth that flows in currents. These currents are caused by convection. If you don't know what convection is then you might as well look it up because I don't have a good definition.

What might the earth look like without convection currents in the mantle?
The earth would look like it did when it formed
Current inside earth might drive plates motion?
Convection currents in the upper mantle are currently thought to be responsible for plate movement.
How do you think the convection cell might affect the earths crust?
The way the convection cell might affect the crust above it is that it can cause the earths surface to turn into a volcano. If there is already a volcano there then it will erupt,
What might happen on earth surface if magma rises in a convection current?
Most convection currents exist in the mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust. As the semi-molten rock heats up, it rises closer to the surface as magma and hence cools on the earth surface to form rocks.
