How can a convection current enable a hawk or eagle to soar upward without flapping its wings?

Asked by helen28

Answer (3)

The convection current is one of hot air rising, in this example, and then cooling and returning down. The rising air pushes the eagle up higher into the air. It just has to spread its wings and let the air push it into the air

Hawks and eagles can soar upward by using convection currents, which occur when warm air rises and cooler air sinks. By spreading their large wings, they can catch these rising currents and gain altitude without flapping. This ability allows them to conserve energy while flying.
