A thunderstorm is the result of something called a convection cell, which occurs when warm, wet air or water vapor rises into colder air causing the vapor to condense into water droplets.

Hot water is less dense than the surrounding water ... where it cools and sinks back towards the core. This process forms convection cells that we see as solar granules. The lighter color in the ...

The polygons also can provide information about the depth of the pool of nitrogen through known ratios of width to depth for individual cells of convection, he said. Data show the polygons are 20 to ...

They are called convection cells. Convection is a common process ... When the warmer coffee rises to the top, some of its water evaporates, then condenses when it comes in contact with the cooler ...

The team's calculations based on the water icebergs suggest the pool must be at least 5 kilometers deep, and the calculations based on the width-to-depth ratio of the nitrogen convection cells ...

The water boiled, creating “evenly spaced convection cells similar to heat pipes,” according to the study, which is to be presented next month at an American Geophysical Union meeting.

The image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite, shows a Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell in ... ocean water or a small island ...
