That's one way!

∙ 10y agoWell, due to the Coriolis Effect (which is caused by the rotation of the Earth and causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to veer to the right and winds in the Southern Hemisphere to veer to the left), the convection currents in the Northern Hemisphere go clockwise, while the convection currents in the Southern Hemisphere go counterclockwise.

How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
How does convection current occur in the mantle?
radioactive decay takes place, which produces lot of heat and causes the mantle to flow in convection currents veena
What does these letters unscramble to be nocitecnov centurr?
That means convection current
Current consists of air or a liquid moving in a circular path as it is heated and cooled?
Convection current Convection current
What are covection currents and what causes them?
A convection current is how either water or air cools and heats. The thing that causes them is the heating and cooling of air or water which makes it rise or sink.
Which process causes transfer of energy by air current within earth atmosphere?
convection
Is a convection current the same as a convection?
Yes. Convection is a type of energy and a convection current is, well, the phrase for its currents. So yeah, convection and convection current are the same.
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
What causes the global air convection current between the equators and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
How does convection current occur in the mantle?
radioactive decay takes place, which produces lot of heat and causes the mantle to flow in convection currents veena
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
How does a convection current move rock?

Density causes hot plastic-like rock to be forced upward towards the surface to cool and then sink. This cycle is called a current?
convection current
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 is the Cycle of heating rising cooling and sinking?
