What are the forces that drives the tectonic plates of the earth?
There are many possible forces or mechanism associated by continental movement.include;sea-floor spreadingthermal plume phenomenaslab-push at mid oceanic ridge.slab-pull at subduction zoneNote that all this mechanism work together
Does magma come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth?
upper mantle
What happens to cause a convection current in water?
Water is a bad Conductor. Note this point! When water at the bottom of the vessel gets heated first, it expands. So its density goes lower. But the comparatively cold water at the top would be with higher density and so they would come down allowing lower dense water to move up. This gets repeated and thus convection current gets produced.
What is Earth's largest layer called?
The thickest chemical layer of the Earth is called the mantle.
Magma is thought to come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth.?
false
Where does the heat come from that drives convection current the mantle?
uneven temperatures
Where does the heat come from that drives the convection currents in the mantle?
Some is fossil heat, some from radioactivity.
In what layer does plasticity and convection occur?
They occur in the upper mantle and the convections come from the inner core but travel to the upper mantle.
How do convention currents help us understand the geologic activity of the earth?
Convection Current helps us understand the geologic activity of the earth because according to the scientist this current causes the movement of the earth's crust due to the unequal temperature that occurs in the mantle (same also with the breezes). Also, it explains that magma come from th mantle which is believed that the melted crust will spitted up again in the earth's surface which it actually explains the (Theory of Isostacy).

What are convection current and what causes them?
Convection currents are caused by heat dispersal which results in the circulation of material such as air, water, or earth's mantle. Once hot air (or gas) has begun to move, it pushes against adjacent air, mixing until that air reaches the same temperature. Just as you have a cold room with a space heater. Turn it on without a fan, and come back later, the hot air has pushed itself around and warmed the cool air around it.
What words does convection come from?
There are two words that convection comes from; com, and veho
Does magma come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth?
upper mantle
When did the Convection Toaster Oven come out?
tomorrow
What is the force thought to move large pieces of earths crust including the continents?
Convection-currents in the Mantle, and spreading-ridge pressure from the emerging basalt along constructive plate boundaries. The processes come under the general heading of 'Plate Tectonics'.
In 1996 did they come outwith a remake Mickey Mantle rookie card from Bowman?
No. In 1996, they did not come out with a remake of Mickey Mantle rookie card from Bowman.
