A convection current is a process which involves the movement of energy from one place to another. It is also called to as convection heat transfer. ... These things happen as a result of the Convection Currents. The convection currents tend to move a fluid or gas particles from one place to another.

¿Por qué los mares cerrados, como el Mediterráneo, presentan mayores niveles de contaminación?

De esta manera, las corrientes marítimas no desagotan sus residuos en el océano, sino que continúan retroalimentándose de manera cícilica, con lo que el conjunto de desechos que viaja en dichas corrientes se queda constantemente dentro de la misma cuenca.
