Define convection current. - ANSWER-Circular currents in the mantle caused by the magma being heated by the core off the Earth. Explain how convection cells cause local winds - ANSWER-Local winds are the result of convection on a small scale. They occur when Earth's surface is heated unevenly. For example, you've probably noticed that large bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, are often much cooler than the nearby land surfaces during the day. The air above the warm surface absorbs he...
