Where do you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the asthenosphere.
What is the earths middle mantle made of?
its three layers of the mantle and the middle mantle is were the asthenoshpere is located also through the mantle there are convection currents
How do convection currents form underwater mountains?
don't know
What continent are around the pacific plate?
The East Pacific Rise is a site of major seafloor spreading in the Ring of Fire. The East Pacific Rise is located on the divergent boundary of the Pacific Plate and the Cocos Plate (west of Central America), the Nazca Plate (west of South America), and the Antarctic Plate.
At which type of plate boundary is the youngest seafloor located?
At the mid-ocean ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
What layer of convection currents located in?
face
Where are most seafloor spreading centers located?
It is the mid-ocean ridges.
How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
Where do convection currents take place in the earth?
Convection currents are located in the astenosphere in boiling water and lots of other places
Where do you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the asthenosphere.
What is the earths middle mantle made of?
its three layers of the mantle and the middle mantle is were the asthenoshpere is located also through the mantle there are convection currents
Where is the Convection zone located?
The Convection Zone is located next to the Photosphere
In force-air heating systems where are warm-air vents usually located?
Near the floor. This allows natural convection currents to mix the warm air as it rises to the ceiling.
How do convection currents form underwater mountains?
don't know
What states that the earths lithoshere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces of earth driven by convection currents located inside the mantle.
Describe how convection pushes tectonic plates around?
Convection pushes tectonic plates around through the rise and sinking of heated liquid. Convection currents occur in the asthenosphere, and these currents contribute to the moving plates which are located just above.
What continent are around the pacific plate?
The East Pacific Rise is a site of major seafloor spreading in the Ring of Fire. The East Pacific Rise is located on the divergent boundary of the Pacific Plate and the Cocos Plate (west of Central America), the Nazca Plate (west of South America), and the Antarctic Plate.
