Kids science about what happen during convection currents?

Answer 1

At the bottom of a substance, part of it is heated by something. This causes it to rise above the rest. However, it soon cools and drops back down again where it is then heated, etcetera. This forms a constant current of part of the substance rising then dropping and repeating.

Answer 2

The effects of convection currents in the mantle are an overall movement of magma, the shifting of plates, and the even distribution of heat. This helps to reduce the amount of earthquakes and volcano eruptions.

Answer 3

Less dense atoms and molecules want to rise up. The denser atoms and molecules are pushed out of the way, and these atoms and molecules fall down to take up the original space that the less dense atoms occupied.

Answer 4

The warm air or liquid rises and the cooler or cold air condenses and cools to see this happen you can heat up some water then put food coloring inside the hot water next keep a different bowl of water in the refrigerator put different color food coloring in there next dump them in a larger bowl and the hot water will rise and the cool water will sink

Answer 5

get a convection tube, a bunsen and food colouring. Fill the convection tube with water and heat one of the bottom corners with the bunsen. Add the food colouring and wait.

Answer 6

Convection currents occur when warm air or liquid rises, becomes cooler, then sinks back down, creating a loop. This movement transfers heat energy from one area to another. It's a key process in the atmosphere, ocean currents, and even in the Earth's mantle.

Answer 7

Heat transfer from the core to the mantle produces slow convection of the mantle material this is what fuels planet movement.

Answer 8

global convection currents

Answer 9

troposphere
