How are pressure and heat involved in melting rock in the mantle?
It is involved in the Mantle because heat Is used for the temepeter and pressure is for how close the mantle is
What does subduction have to do with geology?
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.
What is the primary process involved in the formation of magma at a rift?
Decompression melting of extremely hot mantle rock as it rises toward the surface.
What are effects of connection currents in the mantle?
The flow of mantle effects convection currents in the mantle. This process happens as hot material within the mantle begins to rise. As it rises, it begins to cool and then sinks. This process repeats as a cycle of convection currents.
What is the process called when the mantle pushes plates?
CONVECTION
Which process or processes are involved in the sinking of cold ocean plates into the mantle?
"subduction"
What is the process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle known as?
It is called subduction.
Is lithosphere sinking into the mantle divergent convergent or transform?
Convergent.

What is the primary process involved in the formation of magma at a rift?
Decompression melting of extremely hot mantle rock as it rises toward the surface.
Deep ocean trenches are surficial evidence for?
Sinking of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle at a subduction zone.
The sinking of cold ocean lithosphere drives the motions of mantle convection through?
slab-pull and ridge-push
Why did the contents move apart?
Because they "float" on the mantle and the mantle undergoes a process of convection.
What are effects of connection currents in the mantle?
The flow of mantle effects convection currents in the mantle. This process happens as hot material within the mantle begins to rise. As it rises, it begins to cool and then sinks. This process repeats as a cycle of convection currents.
What is the force that causes plates to move sideways?
Convection. It consists of heated magma rising, then cooling, sinking, and reheating constantly in the mantle.
How is new rock added to the ocean floor?
usually from lava sinking to ocean floor and cooling.
