What is the difference between ocean current and rip current?
Ocean currents are currents that move across the globe from one temperature zone to another. Rip currents are localized currents caused by a combination of tides and waves agains the shore line where the water is shallow.
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.
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
Examples of natural convection?
a Volcano
What are large streams of surface sea water called?
IT'S called ocean currents or just called currents.
What is the layer that has convection currents that move the plates?
This layer is the mantle.
Which layer of the earth contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates?
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
How do plates move where convection currents are risig?
The lithosphere is the continental crust, oceanic crust and upper part of the mantle. The convection currents move in the mantle mostly in the Asthenosphere layer under the lithosphere. As the convention currents move it makes the lithosphere spread and shake.
What direction do convection currents-move?
Convection currents move in upward direction
What are convection currents and in which layer do they occur?
no
What layer of convection currents located in?
face
The layer of rock that has convection currents flowing?
The asthenosphere.
What makes the plate move?
Plates move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. The heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
How are convection currents in water like convection currents in earths mantle?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
What heat transfer occurs in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
