Convection currents can form any time at any place, even in your stove or house. It is created when a warm fluid rises and moves, becomes cold, falls, and is heated up again. it is a cycle see!!
For example, pretend you are boiling water. The fire heats up the water at the bottom, the water rises than cools when it is on the fire and is not being heated. So the cold water falls again and later heats up due to the fire. Oh yeah, warm fluid has less density, so it rises, cold fluids have a greater density, so it falls.
What else can I help you with?
Which diagram correctly indicates why convection currents form in water why water is heated?
which diagram correctly indicates why convection currents form in water when water is heated
Plate motion is caused partly by magnetic reversals convection currents continental drift or volacnic hot spots?
Convection currents
Which process causes the transfer of energy by air currents within the Earth's atmosphere?
convection
Convection currents may be produced most easily in the samples of?
Water and dry air
What types of matter does convection occur?
Convection occurs mainly in the gaseous state, where heat is transferred through currents in air. Convection can also occur in liquids, however it is generally identified with gases.gas and liquid
What should the air temperature be for the convection currents to form?
has to be cold
What type of currents form as hot and cool portion of a liquid or gas move?
Convection currents.

What do convection currents form?
because of differences in pressure and density in a fluid
The transfer of what form of energy leads to convection currents?
Heat Energy
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
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"
Why cant convection currents form if they are heated from the top?
Convection currents form when a fluid is heated from the bottom, causing it to rise and create a circulating flow. If a fluid is heated from the top, there is no temperature difference to drive the circulation, preventing convection currents from forming. Heat needs to be applied at the bottom to induce the necessary buoyancy-driven flow for convection currents to occur.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
