Below the earth's surface in the mantle, radioactive decay creates molten rock, composed of liquids and gases. The heat of the reaction forces an upward current. This current causes a disruption to the cooler liquids and gases. This movement in the mantle pushes against the tectonic plates above it, pushing them upward. Over time, this process forms mountains.
Convection currents form due to an increase in temperature in an enclosed space in which a fluid is located as warmer fluid moves to the top and cooler fluid moves to the bottom.
They can form from the crumpling or thickening of the crust, or from volcanic activity.
How are mid-ocean ridges created due to convection currents
Convection Currents help form underwater mountains when tectonic plates move into one another.
Convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the plates to move. When this happens, mountains can form.
In what two places do convection currents form when the Sun heats Earth
This happens when the are different .
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.

because of differences in pressure and density in a fluid

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.
the form of energy would be heat. convection currents are caused by uneven heating of air or fluid. The warmer fluid is more boyant than the cooler fluid, so it floats to the top, and creates a "convection current"
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
