What is the motion created when heated material continually rises cools and sinks?
A convection current is created when a heated material continually rises, cools and sinks. Plate tectonics are driven by this type of motion,
What type of heat transfer called when molten rock below the Earth's surface rises then cools and sinks below the surface again?
Convection.
Does heated magma rise or sink?
When magma is being heated it rises. When it is cooled, it sinks.
When the mantle is heated the magma rises because?
When it is heated it becomes less dense (i.e. lighter). The more dense (i.e. heavier) magma sinks while the less dense magma rises to the top. It will eventually cool again causing a convection current within the mantle.
Is a plain a constructive force?
Both, constructive in that volcanoes are created along plate margins, destructive in that when plates meet, one is subducted (sinks under the other) and is destroyed as it melts into molten rock into the mantle below.

What is convecntion?
Convection is when heat causes a fluid to circulate around in a container.i.e. the fluid is heated at the bottom > the hot fluid rises to the surface and cools > the cool fluid then sinks again > the fluid is heated... etc.
Does heated magma rise or sink?
When magma is being heated it rises. When it is cooled, it sinks.
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.
What causes the earth plate 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.
When was Japan Sinks created?
Japan Sinks was created in 1973.
What sinks in water sinks to the bottom then floats again?
Not Yassine JR
