APES Review: Earth Systems and Global Changes
... Convection in the atmosphere is responsible for global winds (think back to Hadley, Ferrel and Polar cells), formation of some clouds, high and low pressure systems, and ultimately for various climates and biomes. Convection in the oceans helps to move cold and warm water currents around the glo ...
