What else can I help you with?
Are convection currents related to plate tectonics?
A version of convection currents, occurring in the mantle, is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.
Are convection currents the cause of plate tectonics?
true
How do earths convection currents move?
from plate tectonics
Are plate tectonics caused by convection currents in the mantle?
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
If convection currents did not exist would plate tectonics still move?
NO
How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How Does the Mantle Affect the Earth's Crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Explain plate tectonics and the mechansim of continental drift?
Plate tectonics describes the motion of the Earth's lithosphere which brings about continental drift due to convection currents.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents can be found in the mantle layer of Earth, specifically in the asthenosphere. These currents are responsible for driving tectonic plate movements and are a key component of the process of plate tectonics.
How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Are plate tectonics in the crust?
Plate Tectonics is not a physical object, it is the theory that there are multiple plates and that convection currents under the crust are moving them at speeds of mere millimeters every hundred thousand years.
