Convection currents in the mantle drive plate tectonics, and convections in the hydrosphere circulate water. They both are and important part of convection currents.

What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually cools down?
the convection currents will stop
Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
Where do convection currents take place in the earth?
Convection currents are located in the astenosphere in boiling water and lots of other places
What are the convection currents?
Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock. The heat transfer function of convection currents drives the earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather and geology. Convection is different from conduction, which is a transfer of heat between substances in direct contact with each other.
What are two layers of earth in which convection currents takes place?
dont known tell me
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
What forms due to the different temperatures of the core and mantle?
convection currents
How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
Which layer of the earth is the place where convection occurs?
Convection currents rese and sink through the mantle and the liquid outer core. In Earth's mantle, large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents. Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
What currents are they when are transferred within the mantle and fluid?
Convection currents.
