When convection occurs with very warm, moist air, thunderstorms can form. As warm, moist air flows up in a convection cell it cools and the moisture in it condenses. The condensation releases energy that powers the thunderstorm. Given the right conditions and the right interaction of wind currents, that thunderstorm may go on to produce a tornado.

What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Which layer of the earth do convection currents occur in?
Convection currents occur in the mantle, which is the middle layer of the Earth. The heat generated from the core causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in a circular pattern, creating convection currents.
Heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid by a process called what?
convection
Are winds examples of convection currents?
Yes, winds are examples of convection currents. The uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun creates temperature variations that cause air to rise and fall, creating convection currents that result in winds.
Who discovered convection currents?
The idea of convection currents was discovered by Sir Benjamin Thompson in the late 18th century. He observed the movement of fluids like water and air due to differences in temperature, which led to the development of the concept of convection.

What do these tornadoes with there currents create around the earth to protect it from the suns solar wind?
Tornadoes have nothing to do with protecting Earth from the solar wind. Convection currents in Earth's core create a magnetic field that protects against the solar wind.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
Convection currents discovered date?

What direction do convection currents-move?
Convection currents move in upward direction

Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
What produced convection currents in Earth's atmosphere?
what produces convection currents in earth's atmosphere
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cools down?
the convection currents will stop
How thick are the convection currents?
Convection currents can vary in thickness, typically ranging from a few centimeters to kilometers depending on the scale of the system in which they occur. In the Earth's mantle, for example, convection currents can be tens to hundreds of kilometers thick.
