Why do airplanes normally take off facing the wind? What sets surface currents in motion? Explain the terms convection and conduction? What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the Earth's interior eventually cools down?

How do convection currents cause wind? Why do animals curl into the ball during winter? Why do Eskimos build double-walled houses of blocks of ice? Why do opaque materials become warmer when light shines on them? Why will spray fruit trees with water before a frost help to protect the...
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 ...
How do convection currents lead to atmospheric circulation? How is temperature related to the states of matter? What causes an air mass to have high pressure? How are air masses classified? How does air pressure control the atmospheric circulation?
The first thing you could do is put a lid on. By stopping hot air rising and falling above the cup, you'll be cutting down heat losses by convection. Some heat is also going to be disappearing through the bottom of the hot cup into the cold table it's standing on. What if you ...
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...
Most of the movements of air currents on a global scale happen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. As the sun-warmed air rises, it diverges in the troposphere and moves toward the Earth's poles in several giant loops called circulation and/orconvection cells. ...

Explain the daily wind (breeze) cycles that happen at the seashore. How does wind shear maintain convection? How do tornadoes form from supercells? How do upper winds affect air currents on the ground? What causes prevailing winds? How do clouds turn into a waterspout?
