What is the main cause of surface currents in earth?
convection
Is the sun the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle?
The heat in the Earth's interior comes from two main sources: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
Where do you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the asthenosphere.
What do scientists call the theory that describe the motion of the plates?
The theory of plate tectonics describes how plates move. The main driving force is convection currents in the mantle.
Is the temperature of the oceans fluctuates widely and is the main cause of global warming?

What 3 things set convection currents in motion?
The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.
What are the two main causes for Harry Hess' mid ocean ridge?
it is formed from convection currents.
Where do you find currents?
