What causes the convection currents in the asthenosphere?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
What causes magnetic pole?
The Earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated by electric currents in the conductive material of its core, created by convection currents due to heat escaping from the core.
What is the effect of rotation of earth?
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
What causes changes to earths land form?
what causes changes to earths landform
Why are the layers of the earth in constant motion?
It is because of the convection currents that occurs in the mantle. The heat in the mantle circulates (we know that hot air goes up and cold air goes down) so the plates in the Earth moves. The convection currents are caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle. The heat causes the land to rise while cooling results the land to sink.
Which process causes the transfer of energy by air currents within the Earth's atmosphere?
convection
What causes currents in the ocean and atmosphere?
Warm air rising and cold air sinking in combination with the rotation of the Earth cause the various currents in the atmosphere.
Convection currents in the earths crust causes volcanos?
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.
What are three of earths spears in which energy is transferred by convection?
The atmosphere, the oceans, and the mantle are three of Earth's spheres where energy is transferred by convection. In the atmosphere, warm air rises and cold air sinks, creating convection currents. In the oceans, warmer water near the surface moves towards the poles while cooler water at depth moves towards the equator due to differences in temperature and density. In the mantle, heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents that drive plate tectonics.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
What causes both earthquakes and volcanoes?
Convection currents.
What causes the convection currents in the asthenosphere?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
What causes convection currents to form in oceans?
Lighter, warm material rises while more heavier, cool material sinks. It is the movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in underneath.
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What are some effects convection currents have on the world?
Convection currents inside the Earth happens. The part where the convection currents go up, it brings up materials from the mantle like rocks. This forms new crust. When the convection currents go down, it brings down some older, colder oceanic crust to the mantle, destroying it. In conclusion, the crust is formed and destroyed when convection currents inside the Earth happen.
What causes heat in troposphere i love MACKY?
