Convection currents in Earths mantle are believed to be responsible for?
Earth's Plates
What causes global convection currents to form?
Differences in temperature on earth
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth?
convection
Which of the folling can form in the geosphere and carry heat from earth mantle toward the surface conduction currents infared currents convection currents or surface currents?
in the atmosphere.
Surface currents are set in motion by the?
convection currents are set into motion by heat.without heat the convection currents would stop when all the material reaches the same temperature.

What caused the global convection current between the equator and the poles?
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.

Do winds need sun energy?
Yes. One of the factors behind the wind is differential heating of the earth's surface, which results in convection currents in the atmosphere.
Is heating of air touching a hot surface conduction or convection?
convection
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth?
convection
