Does the crust of the earth move?
The crust moves like globe, for example. you know how there is rings around it? that will be the crust and the ball will be the mantle. Spin the rings, not the globe. the crust moves AROUND the mantle
How is convection in the mantle related to the movements of the tectonic plates?
because it moves the crust
What happens to the old oceanic crust as new molten material rises from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
What type of earthquake wave moves through only crust and mantle?
The type of earthquake wave that moves only through the crust and mantle is called the S-wave (secondary wave). S-waves are slower than P-waves, cannot propagate through liquids like the outer core, and cause side-to-side shaking motion.
What moves on a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
What moves a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.

What moves the crust?
Convection currents.
How did Africa and south America separate?
are you stupid or what !?!?!?! its so easy every continent has a plate called plate tectonics crust and mantle crust and mantle yeah yeah you know what it is plate tecttonics WELL//;.//..// It moves 2 inchs a yeah
What is the word that goes with this definition the crust and the outermost layer of the mantle that moves are?
the lithosphere.
How is convection in the mantle related to the movements of the tectonic plates?
because it moves the crust
Describe the movement of the crust at a hotspot?
The crust moves in 1 direction at a hotspot due to the convection currents of the mantle
What happens to old oceanic crust as new molten material from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
What happens to old oceanic crust as molten materials rises from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
What happens to old oceanic crust as new molten material rises to the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
