The mantle is the Earth's crust. Mantle dynamics are caused by the heating and cooling of this layer of crust. This heating and cooling causes a slow creeping motion in the Earth's rocky mantle.

What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
What causes the rocks in the mantle at divergent boundaries to melt?
The crust stretches and gets thinner so the pressure decreases on the mantle rocks below this causes part of the mantle to melt
What causes the rock in the mantle at divergent boundaries to melt?
The crust stretches and gets thinner so the pressure decreases on the mantle rocks below this causes part of the mantle to melt
What drives the process of plate teconics?
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.
What causes the pressure to allow diamonds to form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.

In thermo-dynamics such a change causes an increase in entropy?
irriversible

The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.
Who is the scientist who first proposed the thermal convection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Auther Holmes is the Scientist who first proposed that theral convection in the mantle causes continental drift.

What is the name of the process that causes mantle movement?
convection currents
What is primary causes of crustal movement?
Convection currents in the mantle.
What causes diamonds to form in the mantle?
Pressure and extreme heat.
What in earths mantle causes tectonic plates to move?
Convection currents in the mantle are what causes tectonic plates to move. Uneven heating of the mantle results from radioactive decay of some long-lived isotopes in the mantle, which are not evenly distributed.
