What kinds of ocean currents might cause seafloor spreading?
Ocean currents have no effect whatsoever. Seafloor spreading is caused by convection currents in the rock of the earth's mantle.
Describe how convection currents might be the cause of plate tectonics?
A convection current, in simple terms, is a cycle that keeps bringing the cool stuff down and the hot stuff up. This current could move the plates as they ride on top of the hot magma.
How do you think the convection cell might affect the earths crust?
The way the convection cell might affect the crust above it is that it can cause the earths surface to turn into a volcano. If there is already a volcano there then it will erupt,
How do you think this convection cell might affect the crust material above it?
I think the convection cell might affect the crust because the convection cell is bigger than the crust.
What causes mantle convection?
Heating from the Earth's core drives convection in the upper mantle. This convection is extremely slow; the speed with which material in the Earth's crust spreads from the mid-ocean ridges is of the order of several cm per year. Nevertheless, it is evident that the same forces which drive convection in the atmosphere and in the ocean are present in the "solid" earth as well. Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface.

What might cause convection currents in hot spring?
I'm not sure but i think it's because the rock heats the water to over 200*c and keeps it under very high pressure

What is a movement of convection currents inside earth might cause plates to move around?
I dont know please help?
What inside Earth might drive plate motion?
convection currents

Does the liquid in the inner core or outer core flow in currents?
The inner core is solid, but the mantle is the only layer of Earth that flows in currents. These currents are caused by convection. If you don't know what convection is then you might as well look it up because I don't have a good definition.

What might the earth look like without convection currents in the mantle?
The earth would look like it did when it formed
What might cause convection current in spring?
I'm not sure but i think it's because the rock heats the water to over 200*c and keeps it under very high pressure
Current inside earth might drive plates motion?
Convection currents in the upper mantle are currently thought to be responsible for plate movement.
How do you think the convection cell might affect the earths crust?
The way the convection cell might affect the crust above it is that it can cause the earths surface to turn into a volcano. If there is already a volcano there then it will erupt,
What kind of disaster do you think the spring might cause?
Cause and Effect in tuck everlasting?
