Are convection currents found in the upper or lower mantle of earth?
The upper mantle
What are convection currents and where are they found?
Convection currents in the mantle are streams of fluid produced by the process of heat transfer from one place to another. The earth gets very hot as you go nearer to the core. The mantle is thus heated up as it is right next to the core. As a result, convection currents are formed.*Core: It is a spherical zone that lies at the center of the earth.*Mantle: It is the layer surrounding the outer core of the earth.
Is amethyst found in the crust of the earths layers?
Yes, it is quartz, just purple!
How do the mantle's convection currents move to form a mid-ocean ridge?
The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.
Where is most of the earths new crust found?
in the earths mantle
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.

Where is the geologic column found in its entirety in the earths crust?
It is found in earth's rock layers
Which layer of earth are the convection currents that directly result in tectonic plate motion found?
mantle
Heat from the earth's interior causes convection currents in which layer of earth?
Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics.Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere.
Where convection currents found?
Convergent Boundaries are found where two plates push against each other, sometimes causing earthquakes.
What are the charged particles found in the top layers of the earths atmosphere called?
Ions

What layers are found in the earths interior?
Crust, Mantle, Inner Layer, Outer Layer
What occurs when rocks layers bend due to stress in the Earths crust?
I found that folding happens
