How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
In the Earth's mantle heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents?
, hot material rises towards the surface and cooler material sinks back down towards the Earth's core. This is called mantle convection and is driven by the heat generated from the Earth's core and the heat released from radioactive decay within the mantle. The motion of these convection currents is responsible for plate tectonics and the movement of continents over time.
What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
What separates the mantle and core?
convection currents
What actions are going on in the mantle?
Convection currents. It's when hotter material floats to the top, and the cooler and denser material goes and gets hot again.
What are convection current and how are they formed?
Convection currents in the earth originate in the mantle. The liquid moves in a circle pattern as the hotter magma rises and the cooler magma falls. This can also be observed in any fluid material, gases or liquids.
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.
How thick are the convection currents?

What causes the convection currents in the mantle?
The Earth's mantle has convection currents because the heat of the core acts similarly to the light bulb in our lava lamp. The core's heat energy is transferred to the mantle, causing it to rise towards the Earth's surface, which is cooler.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
The primary cause of convection currents in Earths mantle is believed to be what?
The primary cause of convection currents in Earth's mantle is believed to be thedifferences in densities of earth materialssubsidence of the crustoccurrence of earthquakesrotation of the Earththis was my test question, the correct answer was A
What is the cycle of convection currents in Earth?
convection currents r a cycle of heat in the mantle. the energy is produced by the heat in the core. the heat rises it becomes cooler and has a greater density. when the desity starts to decrease, it gets hotter and goes round and round in the cycle for many years. but, when the heat is on the top and it rises, the mantle can open up and cause sea floor spreading to occur.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
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.
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.
