What causes both earthquakes and volcanoes?

Convection currents.


What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?

Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!


Scientists think plates are moved by?

volcanos and earthquakes


What is the cause of the Italian earthquake 2009?

All earthquakes have the same cause, which is the movement of the Earth's crustal plates resulting from convection currents in the magma upon which they float.


How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?

Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.


Do convection currents cause earths heat?

No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?


Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?

No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.


How does the convection currents cause te crust of the Earth to move?

Because the convection currents involve the Earth's crust.


Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?

The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.


Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?

The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.


What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually cooled down?

If the mantle of the earth interior were to cool down the convection currents and plate tectonics would stop. That would mean that there would be no more earthquakes or volcanoes.


What is caused by convection currents?

the movement of the plats on earth and if it has pressure applied, it can lead to earthquakes or volcanoes
