Ocean currents, the atmosphere of Venus, the surface of the sun and a bowl of miso soup all have one thing in common: They convect. Here's how to check that out. More home experiments » Clock the ...

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.

In short, that answer is steering currents. The atmosphere is made up of trillions and trillions of parts ... We'll also look at what part, or quadrant, of a system has the most convection ...

This deep convection, the most conspicuous feature of the tropical circulation, in the company of precipitation transports latent heat from the earth's surface to the upper atmosphere.

No air currents required: Ballooning spiders rely on electric fields to generate lift The work could lead to new types of ballooning sensors for atmospheric exploration.

Convection currents have also been observed by NASA's New Horizons mission on the dwarf planet Pluto, which exhibits polygonal surface features resembling plate boundaries on Earth, ...
