What are the steps of a normal convection cycle?
In a normal convection cycle, warm air rises due to being less dense, cools down as it reaches higher altitude, becomes denser and sinks back down, and then gets warmed up again by the heat source, completing the cycle. This continual movement of air creates a convection current.
What happenes as lower layers of air are warmed?
When lower levels of air are warmed they rise into upper atmospheres. As warm air rises, it causes wind. If the warm air is moist, it will cause thunderstorms and possibly even tornadoes if it rises quickly enough.
Which is the part of a convection cycle in earths atmosphere?
The part of the convection cycle in Earth's atmosphere is when warm air rises due to being less dense than cool air, creating upward air currents. As the warm air rises, it cools and eventually sinks back down, completing the cycle. This movement of air helps distribute heat and moisture around the planet.
Convection currents form when warm air rises and cold air sinks What causes the warm air to rise and the cold air to sink?
Warm air rises because it is less dense than cold air, creating an upward movement. As warm air rises, it cools down and becomes denser, then sinks back down. This cycle of warm air rising and cold air sinking creates convection currents.
What is the convection cycle?
Wind creates the surface currents that move water from the equator towards the poles. Water at the poles cools downs. The density decreases and it sinks. Water below the surface moves to areas with less pressure as it is pushed from above. As surface water is blown away, water from below the surface pushes up in an upwelling to take its place. Then the cycle repeats itself.
When in a cycle in which air is warmed warm air rises is cooled and cooled air sinks is a what?
whay is it
What is A cycle in which air is warmed warm air rises air cooled and cooled air sinks in a what?
This describes what happens in a convection cycle.
Which step is not a part of a normal convection cycle?
warmed air sinks, creating a high-pressure area as it falls.
Which step is not part of a normal convection cycle apex?
Warmed air sinks, creating a high-pressure area as it falls. ^ Not Quite Warmed air rises, creating a high-pressure system below
What kind of currents are cause by temperature differences in the water?
The differing densities of water create a consistent movement between the various thermal layers. As water is cooled, it actually expands, so it rises, and as it is warmed it sinks.
How do differences in density cause currents to flow both in the surface waters of the oceans and in the bottom waters of the ocean?
The differing densities of water create a consistent movement between the various thermal layers. As water is cooled, it actually expands, so it rises, and as it is warmed it sinks.
What caused the plates to move?
The intense heat in the Earth's core causes molten rock in Earth's mantle to shift. That causes a pattern called a convection cell which forms when material rises, cools, and sinks. When the material sinks, it is warmed and rises again.
What causes the earth plate to move?
The intense heat in the Earth's core causes molten rock in Earth's mantle to shift. That causes a pattern called a convection cell which forms when material rises, cools, and sinks. When the material sinks, it is warmed and rises again.

In a normal convection cycle, warm air rises due to being less dense, cools down as it reaches higher altitude, becomes denser and sinks back down, and then gets warmed up again by the heat source, completing the cycle. This continual movement of air creates a convection current.
Does heated magma rise or sink?
When magma is being heated it rises. When it is cooled, it sinks.
When air rises what else does do?
sinks.
Why does flames of a fire rise even though gravity pulls things downwards?
Because the warm particles/air from the fire are lighter than the cold air around it. The warm air, being lighter, rises, and the cold, heavy air sinks. Cold air is pulled into the bottom of the fire, warmed and continues the cycle.
