No. The crust is too rigid to convect. The mantle convects, and this convection is part of what controls the movement of tectonic plates.

How do you think this convection cell might affect the crust material above it?
I think the convection cell might affect the crust because the convection cell is bigger than the crust.
How do you think the convection cell might affect the earths crust?
The way the convection cell might affect the crust above it is that it can cause the earths surface to turn into a volcano. If there is already a volcano there then it will erupt,
Where are 3 places in nature that you can find convection currents happening?
The mantle under the Earth's crust, the sea and the Earth's crust.
Why is the earth's crust in constant motion?
Convection currents of heat underneath the earth's crust in the mantle (magma) cause the tectonic plates of the earth's crust to move.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
Does convection happen in the crust?
No. The crust is rigid; it does not allow convection.
How do you think this convection cell might the crust material above it?
I think the convection cell might affect the crust because the convection cell is bigger than the crust.
How do you think this convection cell might affect the crust material above it?
I think the convection cell might affect the crust because the convection cell is bigger than the crust.
How do you think this convection cell might affect the crust material above?
I think the convection cell might affect the crust because the convection cell is bigger than the crust.
How you think this convection cell might affect the crust material above it?
I think the convection cell might affect the crust because the convection cell is bigger than the crust.
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does the convection currents cause te crust of the Earth to move?
Because the convection currents involve the Earth's crust.
What moves the Earth's crust?
Convection currents.
What moves earth crust?
Convection currents.
What is the main method from core to the crust of earth?
convection
How is energy transferred to the crust from the core?
Through convection.
Convection currents in the earths crust causes volcanos?
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.
