Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
Where do convection currents take place in the earth?
Convection currents are located in the astenosphere in boiling water and lots of other places
When did the quest of the golden fleece take place?
The Greek myths do not take place in our chronology.
Are earthquakes all caused by the same thing?
Earthquakes caused due to the movements of the tectonic plates. It can be take even under the sea level in oceanic ridges (which is known as something like a crack on the tectonic plate under the ocean). The lithospheric plates are continuously moving on the asthenospheric layer due to the circulation of convection currents. When the plates are moving, in different different directions they make various kinds of collisions. These collisions also can be divided into several types according to the type of the plates. So when these moving plates collides with each other, earthquakes takes place. So the answer to the questions is simply yes
What are two ways that nitrogen fixation can take place?
Lightning strikes and special bacteria that grow on plant roots.
Why does convection take place in the atmosphere?
Convection take place because of convection currents
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Witch two layers do convection currents take place?
idkk,

What are two layers in the Earth in which convection currents take place?
Mantle is one, and I'm gonna guess core.
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.
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 layer of the atmosphere does convection take place?
That would be the troposphere. It is the first atmospheric layer and is the closest to Earth. This is where clouds and weather are formed.
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 materials does thermal transfer by convection take place in?
Convection
When does convection take place?
