A cold blob of water in the North Atlantic is an ominous sign that a system of currents that regulate the planet's climate ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the strongest ocean current on Earth ... freshwater influx from melting ice is weakening the convection process that fuels the ACC. Their findings suggest ...

Future missions to Venus could also supply additional data on the density and temperature of the planet's crust, which could be used to test the researchers' hypothesis. If crustal convection is ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which swirls clockwise ... Over time, the deep Southern Ocean will warm as convection brings less cold water from the surface. Meltwater also makes its way ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can ...

Most of our winds are caused by convection currents occurring on a big scale in air. Many ocean currents are also due to convection currents.

A giant hole has appeared in the sea ice of Antarctica and it's as big as Switzerland. The sea in Antarctica usually freezes ...

Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an ...

This broad, 8,000-mile-long bulge in the crust of the earth differs in many ways from the rest of the ocean bottom. It may be the result of huge convection currents in the interior By Henry W. Menard ...

Convection explains why hot air balloons rise, and also why it is often hotter in the lofts of houses than downstairs. Convection is also seen on a much bigger scale in our weather and ocean currents.
