convection currents = warm air rising, cold air sinking. Related to weather patterns because it can form a low pressure system, such as a mid-latitude cyclone, or cold/warm/stationary front. Check out this link (its a pic) for some help.

What are everyday examples of convection?

When you are boiling water, it's an example of convection because the water at the bottom of the pot gets warm and becomes less dense causing it ti rise to the top and it then makes the cold water warm and the cycle continues. This is known as a convection current.


The cycle of heating rising cooling and sinking is called?

The convection / subduction cycle.

What is a cycle in which air is warmed and warm air rises and air is cooled and cooled air sinks?

The process you are describing is known as convection. This cycle occurs when a fluid, in this case, air, is heated, causing it to expand and rise due to lower density. As the air rises, it cools, becomes denser, and eventually sinks back down to be reheated, thus continuing the convection cycle.


How does water cycle contribute to condensation?

The Water Cycle contributes the condensation in many ways, here is my answer. The water cycle brings water vapor from the clouds to the earth. The condensation then condenses. jk i don't know the answer that's why im asking! :)
