Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
Why do convection currents take place in the atmosphere?
cold air is less dense
How long will it take to drill through the crust?
Currently we cannot drill to the center of the Earth because no drill could withstand the temperatures in Earth's interior. The deepest hole ever drilled reached a depth of 12,262 meters (40,230 ft) or about 7.6 miles before it stopped working properly due to the heat. Earth has a radius of nearly 4,000 miles. Even if we had a drill that could withstand the temperatures of Earth's core, the outer core is liquid and features active convection currents.
What creates Earth's magnetic field and where does it take place?
The rotation of the molten, iron core of the Earth.
What layer in the Earth haves erosins take place?
Surface erosion occurs in the Earth layer called the crust.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Why does convection take place in the atmosphere?
Convection take place because of convection currents
Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
What are two layers in the Earth in which convection currents take place?
Mantle is one, and I'm gonna guess core.
Witch two layers do convection currents take place?
idkk,
Why do convection currents take place in the atmosphere?
cold air is less dense
Where does heat transfer by convection currents take place in the earths interior?
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, and it sinks as it cools. This is how plate tectonics works, as the crust's plates move on these currents.
Which layer of the earth does convection take place in?
convection takes place in the outer core......... i think
What does the air have to make the wind blow?
Temperature. The sun heats different parts of the planet at different rates, and as a result of thermal expansion of gasses convection currents are created in the atmosphere. When combined with the counter-clockwise (eastward) rotation of the earth, these convection currents are responsible for wind patterns on Earth. Keep in mind that if the warm air rises due to thermal expansion, something must take it's place - and cooler air is what rushes in to do this.
What are convection currents responsible for?
Convection currents are responsible for the movement of heat (and mass) within a fluid system. Heat wants to go from where it is to where it isn't. When atoms and or molecules of a fluid (a gas or liquid, for example) are hotter then their companion particles, they are less dense and rise in the fluid. Cooler, more dense groups of atoms or molecules take their place. Convection currents are thus set up, and heat travels "around" the system via those currents. A link to the Wikipedia article on convection is provided.
What materials does thermal transfer by convection take place in?
Convection
When does convection take place?
convection takas place wen iron piece is heated
