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.

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.

Do convection currents cause earths heat?

No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
