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.

The number one thing hurricanes need is...

• warm water

• cold air from cold fronts

• cold water

• strong warm front

How to oceans form hurricanes?

• warm air over the equator rises and faster than cold air from the poles

• warm waters provide the energy for hurricanes

• cold water provides the energy for hurricanes

• cold air at the poles is more dense and falls faster than warm air from the equator
