Answer: The heat source for Earth’s atmosphere and oceans is the sun, which heats from above instead of below.
Explanation:
In the experiment, the source of heat is the burner below the pot. On Earth this is completely different as the source of the heat on Earth is the Sun which heats us from above instead of below.
The Convection currents still flow in the same direction however because as the sun heats air particles on Earth's surface, they rise but then cool as they keep going up. This makes them go back down where they are then heated up again.
A. It is orbited by Charon
Slab pull is the cool dense crust sinking into the earth in subduction zones, this literally pulls the entire plate down with it. Ridge push is the lifting and pushing apart of the plates at spreading zones.
The Pacific ocean floor moves much quicker than the Atlantic because it has both slab-pull and ridge push acting on it, while the Atlantic only had ridge push (probably the weaker of the two forces)
