yes
Convection currents resulting from uneven heating of the Earth's surface cause the movement of tectonic plates. This movement can lead to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Yes, uneven heating of air in the Earth's atmosphere can cause convection to occur. When air is heated unevenly, it expands, becomes less dense, and rises. As the heated air rises, it creates a region of lower pressure at the surface, which in turn pulls in cooler air to take its place, setting up a convection current.
uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates temperature and density variations in the air and water. These variations drive the movement of air and water around the globe in 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.
Regional wind patterns are mainly influenced by the uneven heating of Earth's surface and the rotation of the planet. The differential heating of land and water, and the presence of mountain ranges and large bodies of water also play a role in shaping regional wind patterns.
Yes, that's the basic cause of convection.

yes
it causes the difference in density, denser water flows to the less dense parts
The primary effect of heating a gas is lowering the density of the gas, making it lighter. Uneven heating of gas creates local density gradients, which will drive bulk movement of the gas via natural convection to get rid of the local density gradients.
The main cause of convection in the atmosphere is uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As air near the surface is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating vertical movement of air known as convection. This process is important for transferring heat and moisture throughout the atmosphere.
An effect of the uneven heating of the earth by the sun is the creation of different atmospheric pressure systems, leading to global wind patterns and weather phenomena like rain and storms. This temperature variation also drives ocean currents and contributes to the distribution of heat around the planet.
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.
