What keeps the metals at the center of the earth moving?
The mantle
What states that the earths lithoshere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces of earth driven by convection currents located inside the mantle.
Name a location where material from the mantle os moving up through the crust?
recycle materials
Why are the plates of the crust always moving?
Because the mantle has convection currents that push the plates around very slowly.
What is composed of oceanic or continental crust and upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle consist of hard rocks which form the moving plates of the outer layer of Earth.
What keeps the metals at the center of the earth from moving?
the mantle
What two possible explanations for the moving crust are given here?
the water is moving it and the mantle is moving it
What keeps metals at the center of the earth from moving?
the mantle
What keeps the metals at the center of the earth moving?
The mantle
What is the moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle?
a moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle is called a ridge that's when the ocean floor has underwater volcano that erupts
What are oceans current are formed by what?
Moving plates in the earths mantle.
What is the mantle of?
It is composed of very hot rock that is "plastic" (slowly moving and deforming). It is not as liquid as the outer core, or the magma that separates the crust from the mantle.
What is the layer beneath the lithosphere made of slowly moving rock in the mantle?
mesosphere
Why is the earths crust always moving?
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
What states that the earths lithoshere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces of earth driven by convection currents located inside the mantle.
What is moving in plate tectonics?
The Lithosphere, which is made up of the entire crust and the upper mantle. This Lithosphere floats on the weak/molten lowwer mantle, called the Asthenosphere.
What is a sentence that uses mantle in a scientific way?
An example sentence could be: "Scientists are currently trying to find out why the Earth's mantle and plates are moving at a rapid rate".
