Rising air is called what?
Convection. Convection is the process where a fluid (liquid or gas) moves and transports heat due to hotter fluid rising and cooler fluid sinking due to differences in density.
How does convection take place in the mantle?
Convection in any fluid will occur when the lower portion is warmer than the upper portion. The less dense warm material will tend to rise while the denser cooler material will tend to sink. While the mantle is generally though of as solid, even solids can behave as viscous liquids over millions of years.
How do convection currents form underwater mountains?
don't know
What direction do convection currents move?
Warmer material in a convection current rises upwards.
The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid?
convection
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called a?
A convection current, however, this can also occur with gases.
What is the circular motion of fluid caused by rising and sinking of heated and cooler fluid called?
The circular motion is called convection current.
What happens to a cooler denser fluid in soup in the convection currents of a pan of soup?
it goes to the bottom because it needs to warm up from the fire under it
What form of energy leads to convection currents?
the form of energy would be heat. convection currents are caused by uneven heating of air or fluid. The warmer fluid is more boyant than the cooler fluid, so it floats to the top, and creates a "convection current"
What does the word convection mean in science terms?
Most substances expand as they get hotter. When a gas or a liquid expands within an environment of denser and cooler gas or liquid, it will rise. What often happens to the rising material is that at some point it cools off and returns downward, so a circular current is formed, rising and falling. That is called a convection current. Convection can be defined as a heat driven motion of a fluid.
Where is cooler denser fluid in a heated pot of soup?
It is on the surface
A convection current transfers heat or air within a fluid?
a convection current transfers heat within a fluid.
What is difference between natural and forced convection?
Natural Convection occurs when a warmer less dense fluid is pushed away by a cooler denser fluid. Forced Convection occurs when an outside force pushes a fluid, such as water of air, to make it move and transfer heat. A fan is a perfect example. Im pretty sure air, and heat vents are examples too. An air conditioner is definitely an example.

How do you use convection current In a sentences?
Convection current is a stream of fluid propelled by thermal convection. Convection is mostly around gas and liquid
What are some examples of convection and how does it work?
Well convection currents are what the plates (Tectonic plates) move on. Convection is heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid. Example: As soup on the bottom of a pot gets hot (when you heat soup on a stove), it expands and therefore becomes less dense. The warm, less dense soup moves upward and floats over the cooler denser soup. At the surface, the warm soup spreads out and cools, becoming denser. Then, gravity pulls this cooler, denser soup back down to the bottom of the pot, where it is heated again. HOPE THIS HELPED!
What is a current caused by the rising of heated fluid and sinking of cooled fluid called?
The current is called a convection current.
