Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Where in the structure of the earth do convection currents occur?
The mantle.
What are the layers in the earth that convection currents occur?
uh me
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
Convection currents within the Earth cause plate tectonics due to the movement of the mantle true or false?
No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.
What are the names of the region in earth's interior where convection currents occur?
The middle of the mantle.
What layer inside the earth does the convection currents occur?
They occur in the Mantle.Prettyorc345Your welcome! I had the same problem on my science homework :)
How have convection currents changed the surface of the earth?
Convection currents occur in the semi-molten mantle. They are created by heat within the earth. As the mantle heats, the rock rises. When it cools, it sinks back down. This movement causes changes in the surface of the Earth.
Describe the convection currents that occur inside Earth?
Convection currents are the movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. In the case of the Earth, convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?
Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!
What are convection currents and in which layer do they occur?
no
What three spheres of the earth do convection currents occur?
in the outside and inside and underneath and between layers
