Convection currents within the Earth cause plate tectonics due to the movement of the mantle true or false?
No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.
What are some effects convection currents have on the world?
Convection currents inside the Earth happens. The part where the convection currents go up, it brings up materials from the mantle like rocks. This forms new crust. When the convection currents go down, it brings down some older, colder oceanic crust to the mantle, destroying it. In conclusion, the crust is formed and destroyed when convection currents inside the Earth happen.
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does convection currenctions work inside the earth?
Convection currents happen in the mantle and cause tectonic plates to drift. The earth is made up of the iron and nickel core, then the mantle then the crust. And the earths surface is made up of tectonic plates. These plates move due to convection currents.
Which force is responsible for earth's crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
How does the convection currents cause te crust of the Earth to move?
Because the convection currents involve the Earth's crust.
Why is the earth's crust in constant motion?
Convection currents of heat underneath the earth's crust in the mantle (magma) cause the tectonic plates of the earth's crust to move.
Is the Earth's crust is in motion?
Convection currents of heat underneath the earth's crust in the mantle (magma) cause the tectonic plates of the earth's crust to move.
Why is the Earth's crust in constant in motion?
Convection currents of heat underneath the earth's crust in the mantle (magma) cause the tectonic plates of the earth's crust to move.

What moves the Earth's crust?
Convection currents.
What moves earth crust?
Convection currents.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
The primary cause of convection currents in Earths mantle is believed to be what?
The primary cause of convection currents in Earth's mantle is believed to be thedifferences in densities of earth materialssubsidence of the crustoccurrence of earthquakesrotation of the Earththis was my test question, the correct answer was A
Convection currents within the Earth cause plate tectonics due to the movement of the mantle true or false?
No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.
Do convection currents affect the movement of plates on Earth's crust?
Yes!
Where are 3 places in nature that you can find convection currents happening?
The mantle under the Earth's crust, the sea and the Earth's crust.
