Difference between Atmospheric circulation and Plate tectonics

Atmospheric circulation vs. Plate tectonics

Atmospheric circulation is the large-scale movement of air, and together with ocean circulation is the means by which thermal energy is redistributed on the surface of the Earth. Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Similarities between Atmospheric circulation and Plate tectonics

Atmospheric circulation and Plate tectonics have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmospheric circulation, Convection, Coriolis force, Earth, Equator, Indian Ocean, Plate tectonics, South America, Sun.

Atmospheric circulation

Atmospheric circulation is the large-scale movement of air, and together with ocean circulation is the means by which thermal energy is redistributed on the surface of the Earth.

Convection

Convection is the heat transfer due to bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock (rheid).

Coriolis force

In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame.
