What are the areas of cooler gases brought to the sun's surface through the convection zone?

As strange as it is to think of a body as hot as the sun having such a thing as a "cool" spot, it actually does! These areas are known as sunspots. Their number changes from year to year and they appear darker in color when studied by astronomers.

Suns core releases heat by what process?
Our sun release energy by a process called convection. Inside the star, energy is transported towards the surface through radiation, but about 1/3 of the outer layer of the star is markedly cooler than the core and the energy is transported by convection from the core to this layer.
How does the convection zone work on the sun?
The convection zone is how the energy from the core is transported to the photosphere. The plasma is heated, rises to near the surface, cools and then falls back toward the core to be heated again.
Where are the sun spots located?
in the convection belt. in the cooler areas of it
How does the sun get sunspots?
Sunspots are cooler regions of the Sun's surface (they are still really bright, they just look dark compared to the surrounding Sun) they are caused by what are basically magnetic field "tangles" stopping the convection that brings heat to the solar surface.
A convection current that blows wind from the cooler sea toward warmer land during the day?
sea breeze
What create ocean currents?
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?

Which best describes the best way sunlight creates ocean currents?
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
When the heated part of the Mantle rises through the cooler part its called?
I believe that is convection.
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler part is an example of what?
A rising convection current.
How does convection cause sea breezes at the sea side?
During the day, the land by the sea is heated by the sun. Through convection, this heated air rises upward and then in order to replace this heated air, cooler air is drawn from the surface of the sea, creating a sea breeze.
What are Convetion Currents?
convection currents are when hot rock from deep inside the the earth rises but cooler rock near the surface sinks
