What is tectonic convection?
Your probably referring to the magma convection currents within the mantle. Like normal heaing and cooling convection currents, the magma ebbs & flows, keeping the tectonic plates in motion.
How convection currents drive tectonic plate movement?
by eating them
What do convection currents do over time?
They move tectonic plates
Does convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
false
Tectonic process in associated with convection currents?
Yes, it is believed that the movements of Plate Tectonics is generated by the convection currents in the mantle. The continents are made up of rocks somewhat lighter than the dense dark-coloured volcanic rocks of the interior. They therefore float on the denser rocks. The same convection currents, or the net effect of them, is believed to generate the electric currents that produce the Earth's magnetic field.
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
Which part of earth's interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
h
The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by?
Convection currents in the asthenosphere
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
Why do you have tectonic plates?
Convection currents.
Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
What makes tectonic plates?
convection currents :)
How do convection currents affect earth?
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
Which layer of the earth contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates?
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.

What is the tectonics?
It is that convection currents cause tectonic activity
