Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What else can I help you with?
What layer drives the movement of plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What are the three types of crustal plates movements?
The three types of crustal plate movements are convergent (plates move towards each other), divergent (plates move away from each other), and transform (plates slide past each other horizontally). These movements are driven by the interactions of tectonic plates at plate boundaries.
What drives the plates together and apart?
Convection Current
How do you track movements tectonic plates?
How do you track it
What drives earth plates?
the f do I know why iam I asking you
What drives the process of plates tectonics?
unequal heat ditribution
How is convection in the mantle related to the movements of the tectonic plates?
Convection in the mantle drives the movement of tectonic plates. As hot material rises and cooler material sinks in the mantle, it creates circulation patterns that push and pull the overlying tectonic plates. This convection process is a key driving force behind plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
Why do lithosperic PLATES move constantly?
mantle movements
What is the movements of plates of the earths crust you?
Plate Techtonics.
What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
What is the source of energy that drives the movement of the lithospheric platesWhat is the source of energy that drives the movement of the lithospheric plates?
The source of energy that drives the movement of the lithospheric plates is believed to be the heat generated by radioactive decay in the Earth's interior, primarily in the mantle. This heat creates convection currents that cause the plates to move over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
What Modern climates are a result of past movements of?
tectonic plates
