1·Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a conveyor belt.
从理论上讲，这种对流会把大陆板块带到一起，好像把它们放在传送带上一样。
2·Furthermore, the birds orient themselves carefully with regard to the Sun and gently flap their wings to increase convection cooling.
此外，这些鸟会根据太阳的位置谨慎调整自己的方向，并轻轻拍打翅膀以增加对流的降温效果。
3·The sparse distribution of the feathers, however, also allows considerable lateral air movement over the skin surface, thereby permitting further heat loss by convection.
然而，羽毛的稀疏分布也使得皮肤表面形成相当大量的侧向空气流动，从而可以通过对流进一步散热。
4·If the surface is cooled and the air above it warmed, there is less tendency for air from near the surface to rise; reduced convection will tend to lead to fewer clouds and reduced rainfall.
假设地表降温而其上的空气升温，那么地表的空气要向上升腾就变得不那么容易；而对流减少导致的将会是趋向于减少的云层生成和降雨。
5·Mantle material can sink at a plate boundary, and then flow back upward farther away, pushing on the crust - a process called small scale convection.
地幔，这种物质可以在板块边界处下沉，然后向上回流到较远的地方，再与地壳相碰撞——这个过程被称为小规模的对流。
