How do convection currents occur?
the dinosaurs go poof as the went into the earths center
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.
Convection currents in Earths mantle are believed to be responsible for?
Earth's Plates
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plated?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
What kind of currents drive earths plates?
Convection currents.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cools down?
the convection currents will stop
Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
How are convection currents in water like convection currents in earths mantle?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
How do earths convection currents move?
from plate tectonics
Where in the earths layers are the convection currents found?
Lithosphere
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Convection currents produce the heat in the earths interior?
False.
What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
