Convection waves are a churning upward motion from the up welling of warm liquid or gas, and the concurrent downward flow of cooler material to take its place.

What does a convection wave look like?
Convection waves are invisible: You can't see them.
What are some examles of convection?
A convection cell churning near mid-ocean ridges.
How is density involved in convection?
In convection less molecules occupy large volume as in air to reduce the density.
Is NOT an example of convection?
Radiation
What is the idea of convection?
Hi! Basically convection is the transfer of thermal energy through fluids. Examples would be air and water.
What does a convection wave look like?
Convection waves are invisible: You can't see them.
Does convection transfer heat by electromagnetic waves?
No, convection transfers heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water, which carry thermal energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic waves transfer heat through radiation, not convection.
What type of energy is travels through waves?
radiation and convection currents
What is in Earth's layers that could create a convection current?
Seismic Waves
In which region of the Sun does energy move as waves that transfer from atom to atom photosphere corona core radiative zone chromosphere convective zone?
The portion of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of waves is called the?
How are convection currents in water like convection currents in earths mantle?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
The parts of convection current in the mantle are related to plate motions?
Waves is the part of convection current. This is the mantle and is related to plate motions.
What is it called when energy is transferred by particles or waves?
If heat is transferred by waves, we call it radiation. If it is transferred by particles in contact it is conduction, and if the particles move to carry the heat it is convection.
When heat energy is transfrerred by particles or waves it is called?
Conduction, convection or radiation.
Difference between microwave oven grill and convection?
A microwave uses radio waves to heat food from the inside out, and a convection oven uses heat waves to cook food from the outside in. While they both cook food fairly quickly, the method of a convection oven is much more similar to a conventional oven.
How does the energy from the sun produce waves?
It warms the atmosphere which causes convection and wind. The wind blowing across the surface of water causes waves.
Does heat travel as longitudinal wave?
No, heat does not travel as a longitudinal wave. Heat is transferred through materials by conduction, convection, or radiation, rather than propagating as a wave. Longitudinal waves are more commonly associated with the motion of particles in a solid or a fluid.
