Convection currents also occur in the atmosphere, forming the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell and the Polar cell. Air warmed in the tropics rises and, in the northern hemisphere, heads northwards.

A balance is established through nonradiative processes, namely conduction and convection, that heat the atmosphere ... the global system of ocean and air currents that we observe—results ...

A fleet of ocean robots and instruments has been deployed to explore the depths of the Labrador Sea as part of a year-long ...

It is known that Earth's magnetic field is produced by convection currents of an electrically conducting iron-nickel alloyin the liquid core, about 3,000 kilometers below Earth's surface.

On Earth, convection currents churn through the mantle (the layer that lies beneath the crust), causing tectonic plates to move around the planet's surface and triggering geological activity like ...
