Essentially convection moves warmer air upwards to be cooled by expansion and form clouds and precipitation and then moves that cold air downwards to be warmed by compression which in the process of being compressionally warmed becomes drier.

∙ 11y agoWhen air rises it cools. This tends to produce condensation which can lead to clouds and precipitation. When air sinks it warms up. This tends to suppress the formation of clouds and precipitation.
This is the simplest explanation. The actual mechanics of how theses systems work can be quite complex.

The distinct wind patterns on Earth's surface are created by the Cloriolis Affect and what?
who ever answered that question obviously doesnt know what convection is or he is joking around .. my friend the wind patterns are created for cloriolis affect and differences in heat ( smiley face ) lol -_-
What are two ways jet streams affect weather?
Affects temperature and also affects patterns of precipitation i think
How do you think this convection cell might affect the crust material above it?
I think the convection cell might affect the crust because the convection cell is bigger than the crust.
Do convection currents always affect the same way?
no
Does latitude affect the climate of a location?
noMoreDifferent regions of the globe have significantly different weather patterns, and these regions can be identified by reference to the lat/long grid. For instance, while there are few significant differences in equatorial weather world wide, there are significant differences as one moves away from the equatorial regions towards the poles. This movement can be referenced through the use of the lat/long grid. Therefore, one might say that while longitude has no significant affect on weather, latitude does.
Can the water cycle affect weather patterns?
no
What factors would affect weather patterns of a region?
Two Factors that would affect weather patterns of a region is altitude and nearby bodies of water.
How does heating of Earth affect weather patterns?
At its simplest - it shifts weather patterns from the equatorial regions towards the poles.
What factors do air temp affect?
weather patterns
Do weather patterns affect stars?
No. Weather patterns on earth, and the stars in space have absolutely no effect on each other of any kind.
How does summer weather patterns affect winter weather in kansas city?
"it doesnt affect it in any way" George W. Bush
Why does the water cycle affect weather patterns and climate?
Yes water cycle affect weather pattern and climate. They are changed after precipitation.
Is global atmospheric movement patterns affect local weather?
Yes
How does heat transfer affect weather?
convection currents rush cool air to the sea
Do ocean currents affect Las Vegas?
Yes. Ocean currents affect world wide weather patterns, and weather affects Las Vegas.
How does greenhouse effect affect us in 20 or 30 years from now?
Greenhouse effect will affect human beings by pushing the weather patterns to extreme levels. Global warming will be much worse and weather patterns will become unpredictable.
How does the Coriolis affect the direction of weather patterns on Earth?
It just does,i'm too real
