What is the mechanical layer of Earth that has the most active convection currents?
The Earth's core.
Which layer of the Earth do Covection Currents occur in?
The major ones involve the mantle and the oceanic crust.
If the tectonic plates float on a layer of the earths crust what is it called?
The mantle or perhaps you are referring to the asthenosphere, the upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.
Are earthquakes all caused by the same thing?
Earthquakes caused due to the movements of the tectonic plates. It can be take even under the sea level in oceanic ridges (which is known as something like a crack on the tectonic plate under the ocean). The lithospheric plates are continuously moving on the asthenospheric layer due to the circulation of convection currents. When the plates are moving, in different different directions they make various kinds of collisions. These collisions also can be divided into several types according to the type of the plates. So when these moving plates collides with each other, earthquakes takes place. So the answer to the questions is simply yes
Which layer has malted material?
There are 4 different layers that the Earth is composed of. The layer that has the melted material is the core layer. The core layer is also the hottest layer.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
What are convection currents and in which layer do they occur?
no
What is the layer that has convection currents that move the plates?
This layer is the mantle.
What layer of convection currents located in?
face
The layer of rock that has convection currents flowing?
The asthenosphere.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
Which layer of the earth contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates?
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
Which layer is most affected by conduction?
the layer that has convection currents is the mantle
In which layer do convection currents causing sea floor spreading occur?
mantle
What is the mechanical layer of earths that has the most active convection currents?
The Earth's core.
What is the mechanical layer of earth that has the most active convection's currents?
The Earth's core.
Where do convection currents happen?
Convection currents occur in any fluid in which there is a temperature differance. Most convection currents occur in the mantle, the layer of semi-liquid rock below the crust. These currents are the reason behind plate tectonics.
