The crust of volcanically active Venus could be churning with convection currents just like the Earth's mantle. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Washington University in St. Louis, who ...

A study proposes that imbalanced forces and torques in the Earth-moon-sun system drive circulation of the whole mantle. The new analysis provides an alternative to the hypothesis that the movement of ...

Ocean currents, the atmosphere of Venus, the surface of the sun and a bowl of miso soup all have one thing in common: They convect. Here's how to check that out. More home experiments » Clock the ...

THE recent spell of hot sunny weather in England made possible a series of experiments concerning the existence and magnitude of thermal convection currents in the air, arising from the reflection of ...

The diagram below shows the structure of the earth. In geography, taking a slice through a structure to see inside is called a cross section. Continental plates are usually quite thick (between 35 to ...

"Convection in the crust could be a key missing mechanism." Convection processes beneath Venus' scorched surface may help explain the planet's many volcanoes, a new study reports. Venus, the hottest ...

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - Our favorite scientists from the Science Museum of Western Virginia dropped by 7@four to talk about convection currents. Danielle Murray and Brooke Haas joined us. Watch the ...

Slow-moving cells had been hunted for decades. Solar physicists are reporting what they call the best evidence yet for long-sought giant 'jet streams' on the Sun's hot surface, some of which would be ...
