What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
Is it true or false that ocean temperatures and currents have major effects on world climates?
This is true. We have just learned about this in are physical science class. The way the current moves through the ocean can cause different temperatures at different places. hope i could help
What layer of earth is made up of heat convection?
The layer of Earth primarily associated with heat convection is the mantle. The mantle, located between the Earth's crust and outer core, experiences convection currents due to the heat from the inner core. These currents play a crucial role in driving plate tectonics and geological activity on the Earth's surface.
What cause the global convection current between the equation and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.
Do convection currents create heat?
No. Convection currents are the result of a temperature difference between one depth and another in fluid.
What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
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.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What is the link between the radioactive decay of the earth's core and convection currents?
The radioactive decay produces heat energy, which keeps the convection currents moving.
What are the convection currents?
Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock. The heat transfer function of convection currents drives the earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather and geology. Convection is different from conduction, which is a transfer of heat between substances in direct contact with each other.
Inside Earth an forms due to the different temperatures of the core and mantle?
Convection currents form inside the Earth due to the temperature difference between the core and the mantle. The heat from the core causes the rock in the mantle to become less dense and rise towards the surface, while cooler rock sinks back down. This continuous cycle of rising and sinking rock creates convection currents that play a key role in driving the movement of tectonic plates.
What causes global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
What do the differences between the equator and the two poles produce?
convection currents in the atmosphere
What is the lithosphere moved by?
The lithosphere, (The "gooey" part of the mantel that is between the crust) Is moved by convection currents.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior cools down?
Convection currents are transferring heat to the surface through the movement of mantle rock. If the interior of the planet cools, the mantle rock would be too solid to move, and there would be no heat to transfer.
Is it true or false that ocean temperatures and currents have major effects on world climates?
