How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
Why car exhausts rust so quickly?
If the vehicle has a stainless steel exhaust system it will last the life of the car. If it does not and you drive in roads treated with salt it will not last as long. Surface rust does not mean the exhaust in need of repair. Surface rust is normal on a steel exhaust system.

When will plate tectonics stop?
When the earth cools because it does not have enough radioisotopes left in the mantle and core to keep them hot enough to drive mantle convection.
How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.

What kind of currents inside the earth drive plate motion?
Convection currents in the upper mantle are currently thought to be responsible for plate movement.
What causes the continents movement?
Plate tectonics cause movements of continents whether its colliding or separating. For more information go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
What plates are the mantle responsible for?
The mantle does not drive plates, the ductility of the Asthenosphere does.
What forces drive sea floor spreading?
in plate tectonics
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface the same as thee forces that drive the rock cycle on or near Earth's surface?
they are not the same b/c the steps of the rock cycle that happen above the eartths surface require other things(evaporation etc.) than below the earths surface(heat, pressure, etc)
What are the two of the processes that shape the features of the earth?
The mantle convection process. The solar irradiation process. The earths rotational process These three processes provide the energy which drive all the other subsidiary process affecting the Earth's surface.
What layer drives the movement of plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What is the pattern formed in fluid when heating causes part of the fluid to rise and then cooling causes it to sink again with earths mantle they circulate heat and drive plate tectonic processes?
Can someone help meh out asap
What drives plate motion?
Plate tectonics is the name given to the forces that drive plate motion. Scientists don't know what causes the natural phenomenon of plate tectonics.
