Although these differences seem small, the resulting convective motions are sufficient to maintain crystals in suspension, except at the floor where sedimentation can occur.

He found that the convective motions organized themselves in semi-regular, semi-permanent cellular patterns.

"A planet's magnetic field results from the convective motion of electrically conductive fluid in its interior," he said.

Usual crystals are small and show signs of irregular growth, caused mainly by convective motion in the gaseous medium.

An internal energy source to drive convective motions within the fluid.

To account for some of the small-scale effects in convective motions, a parameter called microturbulence is often used.

The convective motions in the liquid conducting core inside the center of the Earth are important for making the magnetic field.

When the convective motions occur with the electrical currents around the Earth, the magnetic field is created.

The interaction between the convective motions and the electrical currents creates a dynamo effect.

The convective motions in Callisto have caused only a partial separation of rock and ice.
