A convection current is a cycle. The way the cycle works is when the liquid is heated the particles become less dense as it rises to the top and then it becomes more dense so it comes back down again. Then the process starts again.

What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?

Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.

Are ocean currents convection radiation or conduction?

Ocean currents are primarily driven by a combination of convection and wind patterns. Convection currents are created by the temperature differences in the water, causing warm water to rise and cold water to sink. Wind patterns also influence the direction and strength of ocean currents. Radiation and conduction do not play significant roles in the formation of ocean currents.
