What causes both earthquakes and volcanoes?
Convection currents.
What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?
Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!
What does the mantle convection cause?
Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
What will happen if convection in the mantle increased?
There is no reason to think that convection in the Earth's mantle is going to increase; indeed, I expect it to decrease over time. However, if it were to increase, the result would be an increasing number and severity of earthquakes, and faster continental drift.
What are some effects convection currents have on the world?
Convection currents inside the Earth happens. The part where the convection currents go up, it brings up materials from the mantle like rocks. This forms new crust. When the convection currents go down, it brings down some older, colder oceanic crust to the mantle, destroying it. In conclusion, the crust is formed and destroyed when convection currents inside the Earth happen.
Convection here leads to earthquakes?

What causes both earthquakes and volcanoes?
Convection currents.
Convection cells inside the earth moving plates?
earthquakes
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
What is caused by convection currents?
the movement of the plats on earth and if it has pressure applied, it can lead to earthquakes or volcanoes
What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?
Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!
What does the mantle convection cause?
Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
If convection in the mantle increased how would the earths crust be affected?
there would be more earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions
Where convection currents found?
Convergent Boundaries are found where two plates push against each other, sometimes causing earthquakes.
How do convection currents cause earthquakes?
bob sagot will stomp his foot on the ground and the result of that will cause a earthquake
What are effects of convection currents in the mantle?
The effects of convection currents in the mantle are an overall movement of magma, the shifting of plates, and the even distribution of heat. This helps to reduce the amount of earthquakes and volcano eruptions.
