How is convection on the earth's crust formed?
Do you mean under the Earth's crust or above it? If you mean under it: The heat under the Earth's crust rises and falls as it heats and cools. Above the crust, the sun heats the earth, heat rises, cools, falls back down. Hope that helps.
How does earth bounce back heat into the atmosphere?
Warm air rises through convection.
What is Geothermal activity mean?
Geothernal activity is the heat that comes from the Earth's interior. This heat rises to the Earth's surface through volcanoes, geysers, or even hot springs.
What causes the movement of the plates across Earth's surface?
Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/interior/how_plates_move.html
What is the movement of air parallel to Earth's surface.?
Wind is the movement of a air parallel to the earth's surface ! :)
Heat from the earths center flows toward the suface because why?
Heat from the Earth rises to the surface because heat rises. Heat rises because it is energy and the atoms are looking for more space to move freely in.
What is the main cause of earth winds?
Heat ! The sun warms the air, which rises... Cold air flows into the 'void' to fill it - it's the movement of the air that creates the wind.
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 do you call the movement in heat in a gas or liquid?
Convection
What happens to the temperature when people dig into the earth?
the temperature rises at unbarable and tremendous heat
How does earth bounce back heat into the atmosphere?
Warm air rises through convection.
What is an explanation of the process of convection current movement?
Heat rises...cold decends. As each moves it creates currents.

How is the energy used by many living things on the earth can be traced back to sunlight?
Heat rises
Why movement of crustal plates depend on heat?
The heat in the Earth's core makes the magma more liquid and allows the movement of the crustal plates.
What caused the plates to move?
The intense heat in the Earth's core causes molten rock in Earth's mantle to shift. That causes a pattern called a convection cell which forms when material rises, cools, and sinks. When the material sinks, it is warmed and rises again.
