Weather Review

How are the convection currents in the lava lamp different than convection currents in the atmosphere?

• warm air in the atmosphere sinks instead of rises

• The earth gets its heat from the sun and the lava lamp gets its heat from the light bulb below.

• Convection cells in the atmosphere flow in the same direction instead of opposite

• Cold air is less dense instead of being more dense.

What causes global convection currents

• Forests

• greenhouse gases

• more land forms

• uneven heating of the Earth's surface
