Where does convection current occur on earth?
Convection occurs towards the center of the Earth. The center is mostly made of molten iron, which is a fluid. Because convection is the transfer of heat throughout fluids, if one area is very hot, then the iron flows around and makes other areas warmer.
What is the force that probably propels the movement of the earth's gigantic rock plate?
The earth is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates are propelled by convection in the mantle layer below the crust (lithosphere)
Which layer of the Earth is made up of plate tectonics?
The crust. These plates of the earth's surface/crust slowly move over the magma in the earth because of convection and other forces. The theory of these plates moving is known as 'plate tectonics'.
What layer of the earth is made up of solid rock soil and minerals?
The second layer
What is the tickest layer of earth?
it's made out of iron

What is made of layer?
upper layer is made of mantle of the earth.
What is upper layer made of?
upper layer is made of mantle of the earth.
What are convection currents in a mantle?
The asthenosphere is the layer of the Earth directly below the brittle lithosphere, made of solid rock with a small percentage of melt, which is under tremendous pressure and temperature conditions. It performs and moves in a ductile fashion (highly viscous) even though it is considered rock, and does not break while under stress, but can move due to convection currents of heat arising from Earth's interior.
What is the innermost layer of earth made of?
The inner core is the innermost layer of the earth.
Which layer of the Earth is made up of plate tectonics?
The crust. These plates of the earth's surface/crust slowly move over the magma in the earth because of convection and other forces. The theory of these plates moving is known as 'plate tectonics'.
What three things make heat flow?
Heat flow is made by conduction, convection or radiation.
Why most of the heat exchangers are made use of forced convection?
Better heat transfer than natural convection. When compared to water or liquid cooled heat exchangers, the argument could be made that air is a cheaper cooling medium.
