Surface currents are set in motion by the?
convection currents are set into motion by heat.without heat the convection currents would stop when all the material reaches the same temperature.
Describe the convection currents that occur inside Earth?
Convection currents are the movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. In the case of the Earth, convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
Why are Earth's continental plates continually in motion?
The continental plates are continually in motion due to the convection currents. The convection currents are driven from heat generated from radioactive decay within the earth.
Earth is like a giant magnet because of convection currents in the?
Earth is like a giant magnet because of convection currents in the mantle. Convection is the transfer of hear by the motion of particles in a fluid.
What occurs as result of convection currents?
currents caused by the motion of heated molecules
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cooled down?
the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity

What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if Earths interior eventually cool down?
the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity

Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
How is convection transferred?
Convection is transferred by the larger-scale motion of currents in the fluid.
What three factors set convection currents in motion?
The three factors that set convection currents in motion are: the heating and cooling of fluid, change in its density, and the force of gravity combine to set it in motion.
Is it true that wind are examples of convection currents?
Not conduction, but convection currents, are what drive winds and many ocean currents.
What 3 things set convection currents in motion?
The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.
Plate motion is caused partly by magnetic reversals convection currents continental drift or volacnic hot spots?
Convection currents
What drives plate motion inside earth?
convection currents
What is convection result of?
currents caused by the motion of heated molecules
