It may be an incorrect spelling of "currents".
asthenosphere
Water and wind currets I got that from this test I'm working on to study for exams
When heat is removed from the fluid, the temperature of the fluid will decrease, causing the convection currents to slow down or even stop. This is because the temperature difference that drives the convection process will decrease, leading to a reduction in the movement of the fluid particles.
Lighter, warm material rises while more heavier, cool material sinks. It is the movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in underneath.
