Convection Currents: Let a container with some fluid present in it be heated from the bottom. In this case, the fluid molecules present at the bottom of the container get heated before the molecules at the top. As the molecules heat up, their kinetic energy increases rapidly, and this resul...
How do plates move where convection currents are rising? How was the theory of plate tectonics developed? How do the Rocky Mountains plates interact? How are the LOCATIONS of volcanoes related to the Earth's plates? How do plate tectonics affect the Earth's surface?
The convective zone, which is the final 30 percent of the sun's radius, is dominated by convection currents that carry the energy outward to the surface. These convection currents are rising movements of hot gas next to falling movements of cool gas: It looks kind of like glitter in a sim...
Thebipolar flow clears away gas and dustfrom the young star. Some of this gas and dust may later collect to formplanets core- where the nuclear fusion reactions occur radiative zone- where photons carry energy away from the core convective zone- where convection currents carry energy toward the...

As stars evolve, the distribution of elements within them changes thanks to fusion reactions and convection currents. But the composition of the surface is thought to remain very nearly the same as that of the protostar, as it is not hot enough there for fusion to occur. Measuring the abundan...
Do Now 1/14/13 In order for a metamorphic rock to become an igneous rock, what must happen? In which layer of the Earth do convection currents occur? The. Teaching Point: “To summarize latitude and longitude coordinate system.” Do now Discussion: How might you determine which hemisphere ...
The interchange instability occurs on the low field side of a tokamak as indicated in the top of Fig.1. This region is also shown on the front of the bottom in Fig.1. Most important for the interchange instability to occur is the magnetic curvature. At the low field side, the curvature...
What is a convection space heater? Convection heaters provide gradual,even heat throughout a roomusing a relatively low level of energy. To heat a space, each convection heater circulates convection currents throughout the heater body and across a heating element—such as oil, an electric coil,...
