Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.

Does convection occur in the core of a star?

No, Convection does not occur in the Core. For example, in the Sun, the convection occurs only after the Radiation zone. In the radiation zone the energy is transported by radiation (ie, by photons). At about 0.8 solar radius the density and temperature are not enough to transport the energy by radiation, so convection sets in.

What types of matter does convection occur?

Convection occurs mainly in the gaseous state, where heat is transferred through currents in air. Convection can also occur in liquids, however it is generally identified with gases.gas and liquid


What 2 types of materials will convection most likely occur?

Convection is most likely to occur in fluids, such as liquids or gases, due to the movement of their particles. Additionally, convection can also occur in certain solids that are capable of flowing, such as molten lava or heated metals.


Where can a divergent boundary occur?

They occur when the convection currents are less dense and rise.

Why do convection currents not occur in some components of the structure of the earth?

Convection currents can occur in either a gas or liquid medium but not in a solid medium (so you can have them in air, and you can have them in magma, but you can't have them in solid rock) and they only occur when there is a temperature difference, so that hotter, less dense material will rise, and colder, denser material will sink.


Which layer of the earth do convection currents occur in?

Convection currents occur in the mantle, which is the middle layer of the Earth. The heat generated from the core causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in a circular pattern, creating convection currents.
