In which earth layer does crustal plate movement occur because of convection cells?
in which earth layers does crusal plate movement occur because of convection cells
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
How does convection current relate to plate tectonics?
Because convection currents is the heating rising cooling process and if the crust and part of the upper mantle wasn't divided into sections the heated material couldn't rise up.
Why does the rate of movement of tectonic plates change?
The rate of movement of a lithospheric plate will change as the resistance in the path of convection is increased or decreased because of the types of convergent collisions.
How does a convection cell turn?
It turns because a convection cell is one big loop of a convection current
In which earth layer does crustal plate movement occur because of convection cells?
in which earth layers does crusal plate movement occur because of convection cells
What is the term for heat transfers because of the movement of a gas?
convection
What is the term of heat transfer because of the movement of a gas?
convection
What term is used for heat transfer because of te movement of a gas?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, whether liquid or gas.
Is wind considered a convection current?
yes. because the air move due to pressure and convection. the movement of air is wind.
What is the the term for heat transfer because of the movement of gas?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, whether liquid or gas.
What is the term for heat transfer because the movement of gas?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, whether liquid or gas.
What is heat transfer by convection possible only in liquids and gases?
Because convection occurs by convection currents. Convection currents occur as a result of the movement of a body. Since solids cant move, convection only occurs in fluid, i.e., liquids and gases
What is the transfer of heat by the movement of heated matter?
Convection because some examples of this is through liquid and/or gas.
When electrons were discovered scientist inferred that neutral atoms contain positive charges because?
Scientists inferred that nuetral atoms contained postitive charges, because electrons contained negative charges.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
How does convection current relate to plate tectonics?
Because convection currents is the heating rising cooling process and if the crust and part of the upper mantle wasn't divided into sections the heated material couldn't rise up.
