How is heat transfer in the earths mantle related to the movement of the earths crust?
The heat transfer is moved to the crust. The earth's crust moves to the inner core
What is the major heat source of earth's crust?
there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.
What energy resources uses heat from below earth's crust?
geothermal energy
What is geotermal?
Geothermal heat is head taken from the Earths crust usually in volcanic areas ar heat that comes up in springs from deep under the ground.
How convection currents in the earth's mantle move?
They move because of the heat from the outer core and the mantle.
How does the crust respond to heat from below?

How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
This heat transfer happens by convection.
How do deposits of minerals form deep inside the earths crust?
by heat and pressure
Why is there no sedimentary rock deep in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks get transformed into metamorphic and eventually igneous rocks in deep earth's crust.
Does solar energy use heat from below the Earth's crust?
No.
What help create volcanoes?
The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
When rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and heat without melting within earths crust they may become?
Magma
What is a cavern beneath earths crust that's the source of heat for all Yellowstone's thermal features?
A magma chamber.
What energy resources uses heat from below earth's crust?
geothermal energy
