A geosyncline is a large depression containing thick deposits in the earth's crust. Often, these depressions are made by the convection currents drawing downwards.

What is the depression on the surface of a bone called?
Fossa = Shallow depression or dip in the surface of a bone Process = Bone marking which stick out from the rest of the bone
A shallow basin like depression in a bone often serving as an articular surface is a?
Fossa
What is the name of a shallow basin-like depression in a bone?
Fossa = Shallow depression or dip in the surface of a bone Process = Bone marking which stick out from the rest of the bone
What is the name the anterior depression on the scapula?
This depression is called as sub scapular fossa. Scapula is fitted on convex surface of the chest wall. That is why this surface of the scapula has got depression.
What are shallow grooves that exist in the brain?
You have sulci ( singular is sulcus) and gyri ( singular is gyrus) in the surface of the brain. By this mechanism you have the surface area of the brain, vastly increased.
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth?
convection
Which of the folling can form in the geosphere and carry heat from earth mantle toward the surface conduction currents infared currents convection currents or surface currents?
in the atmosphere.
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
Surface currents are set in motion by the?
convection currents are set into motion by heat.without heat the convection currents would stop when all the material reaches the same temperature.
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
Do convection currents carry sunspots across the surface of the sun?
False
How do convection currents distribute heat in the oceans?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
What do convection currents resulting from uneven heating of Earth's surface form?
wind
How is thermal energy transferred in the atmosphere?
From the surface, it would be via convection currents
How do convection currents contribute to eutrophication?
Some of the substances that give rise to eutrophication in a system naturally settle to the bottom. However, convection currents can bring them closer to the surface again.
What is convective zone?
A convection zone is the final process of the sun's radius. Energy from the sun is carried outward to the surface by convection currents.
