Where in the interior of earth do geologists believe that the earths magnetism is influenced?
Convection of liquid metals in the outer core creates the Earth's magnetic field.
Can a molten liquid have the strength to push giants slabs of earths crust?
Magma itself does not force the plates to move. Plate movement is caused by convection currents in the mantle because of intense heat from the Earth's 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.
Why might an earthquake's primary wave but not it's secondary wave reach a location on the other side of the world from the epicenter?
Only primary waves travel thought the earths interior because S waves cannot travel through the liquid portion of Earths interior and P waves can. Whoever you are, you were just schooled by an eighth grader =)
What can be used to map the deep interior of the earth?
The deep interior of the Earth can be mapped using seismic waves. Natural earthquakes produce seismic signals which penetrate the Earth. Timing the arrival of these waves at various sites round the world, gives indication of the shape and the wave velocity in the Earths interior. Rather similar to the way a CAT scan can reveal the interior of a person.
What would happend to the convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cooled down?
They will stop.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cools down?
the convection currents will stop
Convection currents produce the heat in the earths interior?
False.
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if Earths interior eventually cool down?
the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity
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!
What part of the earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plated to move?
asthensophere
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?

Does convection currents produce the heat in the Earths interior?
Convection currents are agents of heat transfer within Earth's interior. And could also serve as mechnism for heat generation in the earth crust.

What kind of currents drive earths plates?
Convection currents.
