Sunlight heats the ground, which then heats the air, which rises (hot air is less dense than cold air); as the air rises, cooler air falls and is sucked in to take the place of the air that rose. This creates various types of wind, depending upon the size of the air masses as well as the surrounding topography, which can deflect the air in different directions.

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 is destiny involved in the process of convection?

Destiny does not play a role in the process of convection. Convection is a natural process driven by differences in temperature and density that result in the transfer of heat through fluids like air or water. It is based on physical laws and scientific principles, not destiny or fate.


Is radiation convection or conduction involved when a lake freezes?

Lake freezes first at the surface is convection involved


The winds that are most involved in forming ocean currents are the?

The winds most involved in forming ocean currents are the global wind patterns, such as the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. These winds drive the surface waters of the oceans, creating ocean currents that can transport heat, nutrients, and marine life around the globe.


How is density involved in convection?

In convection less molecules occupy large volume as in air to reduce the density.


What force is involved in the development of surface currents?

The Moon


Heat in convection travels through what?

Convection is the transport of heat by movement of the medium involved. In domestic heating this is air, a heating element raises the temperature of the air local to it, this air is therefore less dense than the bulk of the air in the room and rises, so creating air currents and spreading the heat around.In industry the medium could be some other gas, or a liquid


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 mode of heat exchange is involved in wind chill?

Convection


Which method of energy transfer mostly involved in weather?

Convection.


What system is involved in contractions and creating body heat?

The muscular system is involved in contractions and creating body heat.


Explain how density is involved in convection?

convection means transmission of heat in liquid. consider an example that when u have more tension at that time ur temperament become hot it starts flowingn in our red blood corpuscles (water) so it become hard hence dense.
