Convection currents are caused by the uneven heating of a fluid, typically a gas or liquid. When a portion of the fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser fluid sinks to take its place. This cycle creates a continuous flow, driven by gravity and differences in temperature, leading to the movement of material within the fluid. Convection currents are commonly observed in phenomena like boiling water, atmospheric circulation, and ocean currents.
What else can I help you with?
What is the heat source for earth's convention currents?
The sun.
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
What are the causes of currents?
its caused by the moon
What causes high and low currents?
In electricity? High voltage ,high currents. Low voltage, low currents.
What causes density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
What cause convention currents in mantle?
the heat in the core raises and heat raises to a cold spot. so the convection currents raises to the surface of the earth.
What causes surface currents to move?
Randomism .
What causes ocean currents and why is it important?
waves
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
How do you describe convention currents by the ocean?
changing in heat in the ocean colder sinks warmer floats
How do deep ocean currents occur?
It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.
What causes mild climates in Europe?
ThE ocean currents
