What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
How are convection currents caused and how do they move material in the mantle and lithosphere?
Because the mantle and lithosphere have gases or liquids that circulate
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 caused the large landmass to separate?
Convection currents in the Earth's mantle driven by heat energy from the core.
Plate movement is thought to be caused by convection currents in the?
Mantle, I believe.
What is a constructive force caused by the convection currents in the earth's mantle?
Convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the plates to move. When this happens, mountains can form.
What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
How convection currents are caused and how they move material in the mantle and lithosphere?
Because the mantle and lithosphere have gases or liquids that circulate
How are convection currents caused and how do they move material in the mantle and lithosphere?
Because the mantle and lithosphere have gases or liquids that circulate
Are plate tectonics caused by convection currents in the mantle?
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
Are there convection currents in the molten part of the earths interior?
Yes there are! That's why the plates move! It's caused by convection circulating the magma in the mantle creating currents!
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
