What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
Where in the structure of the earth do convection currents occur?
The mantle.
What are the layers in the earth that convection currents occur?
uh me
What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
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.
What produced convection currents in Earth's atmosphere?
what produces convection currents in earth's atmosphere
How is the rock cycle related to the movement of earth's plate?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
How do convection currents affect earth?
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
How does the convection currents cause te crust of the Earth to move?
Because the convection currents involve the Earth's crust.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Who discovered convection currents?
Arthur Holmes discovered convection currents. He made two contributions on how the planet earth works. He was the very first scientist to understand convection currents in the earth.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if Earth's interior eventually cooled down?
The convection currents will stop
What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually cools down?
the convection currents will stop
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
