Convection Currents
Summary
Convection currents
are the
flow patterns
in a fluid, driven by the
heat-induced variation
in density, causing warmer,
less dense material
to rise and cooler,
denser material
to sink. These currents are fundamental in transferring heat within fluids and play a crucial role in
atmospheric dynamics
, ocean circulation, and
mantle convection
in geophysics.
