What else can I help you with?
What do you call air and water movement?
they oth make big or large movement
What factors control the movement of surface currents?
Air currents, earth's rotation and the location of the continents. <<< textbook source!
What is convection currents are involved in both?
Convection currents involve the movement of fluids (like air or water) due to differences in temperature and density. In the Earth's mantle, convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates by causing magma to rise and fall in the mantle. In the atmosphere, convection currents play a role in the formation of weather patterns as warm air rises and cold air sinks.
How does wind energy transfer from the air to the water?
Wind energy is transferred from the air to the water through the movement of the wind creating waves and currents on the surface of the water. These waves and currents can be harnessed by devices such as wind turbines or wave energy converters to generate electricity.
Is the vertical movement of air currents due to temperature variations?
What is the vertical movenment to air currents due to temperature variations?
The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air form?
The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cold air forms fluids.
What effect does the heating of the earth have on air and water movement?
it moves a lot!
What is the difference between wind and currents?
Wind refers to the movement of air in the atmosphere, while currents refer to the movement of water in the ocean. Wind is generated by temperature and pressure differences in the atmosphere, while ocean currents are influenced by factors such as temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation. Both wind and currents play important roles in shaping weather patterns and distributing heat around the Earth.
The main cause of global convection currents is?
uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates temperature and density variations in the air and water. These variations drive the movement of air and water around the globe in convection currents.
What are the basic 2 types currents?
You can have electrical currents, or currents in fluids such as water or air.
What transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in earths atmosphere is an example of?
The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in Earth's atmosphere is an example of convection. As warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, heat is transferred through the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
How do surface currents transfer energy?
by convection
