Birds use convection currents by taking advantage of rising warm air to gain altitude without constantly flapping their wings. By soaring in these upward air currents, birds can conserve energy and cover long distances while searching for food or migrating. They use their wings to adjust their position within the convection currents to stay aloft.
Surface currents are set in motion by a combination of factors such as wind, the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), and differences in water density due to temperature and salinity variations. These factors create a complex system of ocean currents that circulate water around the globe.
It'll stop flowing when all of the material has reached th same temperature.
No, the atmosphere is not always the same. It can change due to various factors such as weather patterns, air pollution, and natural events like volcanic eruptions. These changes can affect temperature, humidity, and air quality.
No, tectonic plates move at different rates. Some plates move faster than others, while some plates move very slowly. The movement of the plates is driven by the underlying convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
There are convection currents in the mantle because if they werent everything would be the same temprature

They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
Yes. Convection is a type of energy and a convection current is, well, the phrase for its currents. So yeah, convection and convection current are the same.
Convection currents can form when there a temperature differential within the same body of a liquid or gas and the higher temperature obtains at a lower vertical position than the cooler liquid. If the relative vertical temperatures are reversed, convection currents may be prevented by what is known as a thermocline, i.e., a static layer of liquid which effectively prevents mixing of the different temperatures necessary to produce convection.
They occur in the Mantle.Prettyorc345Your welcome! I had the same problem on my science homework :)
Yes, it is believed that the movements of Plate Tectonics is generated by the convection currents in the mantle. The continents are made up of rocks somewhat lighter than the dense dark-coloured volcanic rocks of the interior. They therefore float on the denser rocks. The same convection currents, or the net effect of them, is believed to generate the electric currents that produce the Earth's magnetic field.

c. eventually stop. As the heat source is removed, the temperature gradient that drives convection currents diminishes, eventually leading to the cessation of the currents as the fluid reaches thermal equilibrium.
Cool things always sink (because they are more dense) and hot things always rise (because they are less dense) in convection. It does not matter if it is rock, air, water, metal, wax, oil, etc., convection always works the same.
