What is the term for the vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density?
Convection currents are vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density.
What is a convection current caused by?
The liquid or gas which transfers the heat can circulate round and round between the hot and cold regions. The flow of liquid or gas is called a convection current. Convection currents are caused by changes in density.
What property of hot air causes it to rise and help create convection currents?
Density.
True or false Convection currents form because of differences of temp and density in a fluid?
True
Which describes the convection currents that drive the motion of lithospheric plates?
A continuous flow in the mantle caused by differences in density
Which term for the vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer due to changes in density?
Convection currents are the vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer due to changes in density.
What is the term for the vertical circular movements of that transfer energy due to changes in density?
Convection currents are vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density.
What 3 things set convection currents in motion?
The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.
What is the term vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density?
Convection currents are vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density.
What is the term for the vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density?
Convection currents are vertical circular movements of fluids that transfer energy due to changes in density.
How is destiny involved in the process of convection?
It's the change (decrease) in density with heating that produces the currents that we refer to as convection currents.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
What 3 factors set convection currents in motion?
the heating and cooling of fluid, changes in its density, and the force of gravity combine to set it in time
What do convection currents form?
because of differences in pressure and density in a fluid
What forms because of differences in temperature and density of a fluid?
convection currents
How do difference in air density cause convection currents?
It just happens because of the differenciation in the air density which allows the so called convection currents to occur/form. Complex I know but is the closest conclusion.
