Question

Where could convection currents form? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer;

• In a freshwater lake
• In the atmosphere
• In Earth's mantle

Explanation;

• Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.
• Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
• Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.

Answer 2

The earth has four layers; the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The Earth’s magnetic field is the combination from the convection it receives from the outer core and the Coriolis Effect.
