Geologists believe that covection currents are what causes continental drift. If covection currents never happened and their force didnt move the continents then we'd all live on one large super continent.

Which layer of the Earth do Covection Currents occur in?

The major ones involve the mantle and the oceanic crust.


What happens to covection currents when a fluid reaches a constant temperature?

As the fluid warms:The currents speed upThen as the temperatures of the fluid equalise (the fluid becomes one temp) the currents slow downWhen the fluid is one temperature the currents stop


What happens if the convection currents heat is removoed?

If the heat from convection currents is removed, the movement of the fluid or air will slow down and eventually stop. This can disrupt processes like heat transfer and mixing in the fluid, leading to changes in temperature gradients and potentially affecting the overall stability of the system.


What effect do covection currents and volcanic activity have on earth's surface?

When a part of the earth's upper mantle or lower crust melts, magma forms. A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged.


What weather conditions in nature are needed for salinity currents to form?

Wave action, Volcanic activity and land and water erosion are needed to have salinity currents form. Hope this helped@ :)


What geological events occur because of covection currents in earths mantle?

Convection currents in Earth's mantle drive the movement of tectonic plates, leading to processes like seafloor spreading, subduction zones, and volcanic activity. These movements also impact the formation of mountain ranges and ocean basins as plates interact with each other.

What is the transfer of heat by the movement of particles in fluids called?

The transfer of heat by the movement of particles in fluids is called convection. As fluids are heated, their particles move, creating currents that transfer heat from one place to another. This process is commonly observed in liquids and gases.

Do underwater currents steer hurricanes?

Underwater currents do not directly steer hurricanes. However, warm ocean currents can provide the energy and moisture needed for hurricanes to form and strengthen. The interaction between hurricanes and ocean currents can influence the storm's intensity and movement.
