What does it cause when magma escapes from the mantle to the surface of the earth?
Igneous rock.
What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
What causes mantle dynamics?
The mantle is the Earth's crust. Mantle dynamics are caused by the heating and cooling of this layer of crust. This heating and cooling causes a slow creeping motion in the Earth's rocky mantle.
What causes earth 's plates to move continuously?
Convection in the earth's mantle.
What drives the process of plate teconics?
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.

Magma sometimes approaches or escapes onto Earth's surface Where does this magma form?
In the crust and upper mantle
What causes earth 's plates to move continuously?
Convection in the earth's mantle.

Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.
What causes earths plates to move continuously?
Convection in the earth's mantle.
What causes convection currents in the earth's mantle and oceans and in the air?
Heat differentials.
What does the mantle convection cause?
Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
What causes thinning in the earths crust?
Thinning of the Earth's crust is caused by the Earth's mantle heating up and expanding. As the mantle expands, large areas of the crust fall in, where they are melted.
What caused the plates to move?
The intense heat in the Earth's core causes molten rock in Earth's mantle to shift. That causes a pattern called a convection cell which forms when material rises, cools, and sinks. When the material sinks, it is warmed and rises again.
Which statement best explains how convection currents can occur in earths mantle?
Earth's rotation causes mantle convention. But you already knew that! :P
