What is the geological theory that states that pieces of Earth's crust are in constant slow motion called?

Convection currents.


In which of the three states of matter does convection occur?

liquids and gases


One hypothesis states that plate movements results from convection currents in the?

Earth's mantle. These convection currents are driven by heat from the Earth's core, which causes material in the mantle to become less dense and rise, and denser material to sink. This movement of the mantle material pushes and drags the tectonic plates along with it.


One hypothesis states that plate movement results from convection currents in thea mantle c lithosphere b asthenosphere d outer core?

Asthenosphere.


How does the kinetic theory of the matter relate to heat transfer?

Kinetic theory and Heat transfer are both in motion, in Kinetic theory all states of matter are in vigorous motion and Heat transfer is associated with the motion of atoms or molecules.


What are 3 ways heat is produced?

Conduction, convection and radiation TRANSFER heat; you can't create heat; the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, you can't create heat.


What states that the earths lithoshere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?

The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces of earth driven by convection currents located inside the mantle.


How does heat travel through each state of matter?

If your talking a out the 3 basic states of matter it would be gas but if your going by the 4 basic states of matter it would be plasma.


What states of matter does convection occur in?

Under conditions of standard temperature and pressure convection is not possible in the solid state of matter.However under extreme conditions (e.g. the high temperature and pressure in the earth's mantle) convection is not only possible in the solid state of matter, but happens all the time just as in the liquid and gas states of matter but much slower.
