convection currents in the mantle basically make waves and the waves move up through the layers of the earth causing the plates to move around a bit

How are the plate motions connected with motions within the rest of earth mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
Earths lithosphere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The motion in the mantle is known as convection currents which helps move earth's slabs, known as plates. Convection occurs in the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
The sinking of cold ocean lithosphere drives the motions of mantle convection through?
slab-pull and ridge-push
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?
Convection
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
The parts of convection current in the mantle are related to plate motions?
Waves is the part of convection current. This is the mantle and is related to plate motions.
How are the plate motions connected with motions within the rest of earth mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
How are plate motions connected with motions within the rest of earth's mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
What happen as thermal energy is transferred from the core to the mantle?
CONVECTION CURRENT is the answer.
What do you think will happen to the convection current in the mantle if the interior of earth eventually cools down?
the convection currents will stop

Which has not been proposed as a mechanism of plate motions?
The idea that plate motions are caused by electromagnetic forces has not been widely proposed as a mechanism of plate motions. The most accepted mechanism is the theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that plate motions result from the movement of convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Other proposed mechanisms include ridge push, slab pull, and mantle plumes.
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?
Convection
What is a Convection current model?
Convection currents in the mantle drag the plates like a conveyor belt.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
