Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Dear expert(s),
Please give some info on convection currents and the name of the expert(s) giving the information(for bibliography). Thanks,
Gaho

Gaho,
Can you please be more specific? For example, is your topic about convection currents in the Earth's atmosphere or in a glass of water? What sort of information have you already collected, and what additional information do you need? If you can give us more info to work with, we will be better able to help you.

If you have no information at all, a good place to start would be to use google.com to search for terms like "convection currents physics". That will lead you to a multitude of sources like these:

Thank you for replying Chris,
My group has the necessary info on convection currents(in the atmosphere) but we need an expert's word on the topic. We would appeciate it if you could tell us how convection is diffrent else where in the world(thicker magma means...).
Once again,
Thanks.

You're welcome. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but this page will answer your general questions about how convection works in different fluids and environments:

Feel free to post any questions about what you read there.

reminder: please research over the internet AND THEN ask us
