the movement of tectonic plates due to convection current
Convection! I know this was on your science ws cause it was on mine too :)
in the asthenosphere, which is in the lower part of the mantle, magma churns in a convection current which is like a cycle. Tectonic plates sit above this movement in the lithosphere. This is what causes continents to move little by little. Hot magma rises and at the lithosphere, it cools and falls because it is now denser. This is like a circular movement, or convection current.
How does a convection current move rock
convection current
Convection Current
The transmission of heat requiring the movement of a liquid or a gas is called convection.
the movement of tectonic plates due to convection current
Air rises at the equator and then flows northward. At about 30 degrees north latitude, the air sinks. When it reaches the surface, it flows south, back toward the equator. At the equator, the air rises again and the cycle starts all over.
convection current
yes. because the air move due to pressure and convection. the movement of air is wind.
Convection Current
it is a convection current :D
