Answer and explanation;

-The cause of convention currents in a hot spring is rainwater and melted snow is cool and denser and sinks to the bottom of the hot spring where it is heated by a shallow magma chamber. The heated water expands and is less dense and rises to the top.

Explanation;

-Convention Current is the movement of fluid caused by the differences in temperature. Transference of heat from one part of a fluid to another.

-Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this 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.

How can you use the movement of molecules to determine when a phase change has occurred?

baherus [9]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

Maritime tropical air masses develop over warm waters present in the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are carried to to the overlying air from the water below.

 Tropical air masses having northward movement carry warm moist air into the United States, thus increasing the potential for condensation. Generally the southern states experience tropical air masses. But, in winter season, southerly winds ahead of migrating cyclones sometimes transport tropical air mass towards north.

The counterclockwise winds related to northern hemisphere mid latitude cyclones play an important role in the movement air masses, carrying warm moist air towards north ahead of a low while dragging colder and drier air towards south.
