How are the convection currents found in Earth’s air and oceans similar? How are these movements different?

In the atmosphere, as the air gets warmer, it rises up. When the air gets cooler, it sinks down. Same goes for oceans. When the water gets warmer due to either sunshine or geothermic properties, it rises up as surface currents which have their own unique pathway
