What else can I help you with?
Are slow movements of mantle rock called radiation heat transfer?
The movements of mantle rock is a classic example of thermal convection, though there will be some conductivity as well.
Does slow movements of mantle rock called radiation transfer heat in the mantle?
No, slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle. Convection occurs due to the heat generated by the radioactive decay of elements in the mantle causing molten rock to rise and cooler rock to sink in a continuous cycle.
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
Drives the movements of the plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What is the name of the heat transfer method that occurs in the Earth's mantle?
The heat transfer method that occurs in the Earth's mantle is called convection. In this process, heat is transferred through the movement of molten rock material within the mantle, creating convection currents that drive plate tectonics and other geological phenomena.
What layer drives the movement of plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What do scientists think causes movements of the pates?
Convection currents in the mantle.
What is the mantle important?
The mantle is where convection cells are formed. Convection currents help stimulate the tectonic plate movements thus recycling sediments and soil.
What is Circular movement of material inside Earth's mantle called?
The circular movement of material inside Earth's mantle is called mantle convection. This process involves the transfer of heat through the movement of molten rock in a circular pattern, driving the tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
What do scientists think causes the movement of Earthes plates?
Convection movements; currents in Earth's interior. Note that a significant part of Earth's interior is liquid.
Convection in the Earth's mantle does what?
helps transfer internal heat outward.
Is conduction convection or radiation the way in which the mantle circulates?
The way the mantle circulates is through the process of convection. It refers to the transfer of heat from the Earth's core to the surface.
