Gravity causes the convection currents. Without gravity, convection would have been completely backwards. Gravity pushes the cold air down and stops the warm air going up.

What role do convection currents play as you heat a pot of water?
The role convection currents play as you heat a pot of water is transferring heat by movements of a liqiud or a gas because when when convection occurs it occurs in a circular pattern.
What role does mantle convection play in plate motion?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How would gravity play a role in deposition?
no one knows the answer to this question
How does nature play a role in Germany's acid rain problem?
Air currents carry toxic smoke from other countries' factories to Germany
What is the atmosphere's role in the exchange of gases on Earth?
The atmosphere exchanges gases by means of convection, radiation, and conduction. This is how energy is transferred between the Earth and the atmosphere.
How are convection currents important in the Earth's system?
Deep, cold-water currents play an important role in creating the ocean oasis of the film. Convection currents play a role in the circulation of fluids. Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks.
What role do convection currents play as you heat a pot of water?
The role convection currents play as you heat a pot of water is transferring heat by movements of a liqiud or a gas because when when convection occurs it occurs in a circular pattern.
Explain the difference between the sun's role and the moon's role in creating tides?
The sun pulls the tides with it's small amount of gravity, but the sun has a larger gravitational pull.
What is Jupiter's role of gravity?
jupiter role of gravity is 254%
Does gravity play a role in plate movement?
From what I know, Geologists have two main theories on why plates move. -The First idea is that at converging plate margins (constructive) as material moves up, the plates are pushed outwards -The second idea is that convection currents within the asthenosphere, (below the plates) which push plates along as if they were on wheels. These currents are formed as partially melted rocks rise because they are heated because it is hotter closer to the core and hotter materials rise. However, after rising for a while, the material cools and drops down again. This forms circular movements of rock which push the plates along. According to these theories, gravity doesn't but there might be another theory which says otherwise.
Convection currents which affect weather and climate are created by?
Air convection currents are created by a combination of the sun heating the air closer to the equator making it rise and cooling it in the arctic regions making air descend. That combined with the rotation of the Earth causing a Coriolis Effect making the winds that travel west to east.
What role does gravity play in the orbit of the earth and the mo?
Gravity plays the central role; without gravity, there would be no such thing as an orbit.
What is the role of density in turbidity currents?
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
What is the role of gravity in maintaining an atmoshere?
It is essential: no gravity - no atmosphere.
What role does mantle convection play in plate motion?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
What role does the more opaque convection zone play in the Suns interior?
The role that the more opaque convection zone plays in the Sun's interior is transferring energy by moving matter. You can sum that all up in one word; convection. Hope i could help!!!!!!
Does the ocean currents play a major role on earths rotation?
no
