Convection currents on the earth are created by the moon and wind energy
a. true
b. false

False. Convection currents are caused by temperature differences. Cold air is more dense than warm air, and so the warmer air rises. This creates a lower pressure area into which outside air flows. A similar thing happens with ocean currents. The Moon only influences tides, and although wind may sheer the surface of the ocean, it doesn't really affect currents.
