Which layer of the earth is the place where convection occurs?
Convection currents rese and sink through the mantle and the liquid outer core. In Earth's mantle, large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents. Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle.
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
Match the structure in column 1 to the characteristics in column 2 a moho barrier thinnest layer b oceanic crust layer that moves the crust c upper mantle located near the outer core d?
Moho barrier: Top of mantleOceanic crust: Thinnest layerUpper mantle: Moves the crustLower mantle: Borders liquid core
What Borders liquid core?
The liquid core of Earth is surrounded by the solid mantle and crust. This liquid outer core is mostly composed of iron and nickel, and it is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
Which of the following is true about convection in Earth's mantle and tectonic plate motion?
Convection in Earth's mantle drives the motion of tectonic plates. As the mantle heats up and rises, it moves the plates above it in a process known as plate tectonics. This convection helps create features like mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
What do scientists think causes the movement of Earthes plates?
Convection movements; currents in Earth's interior. Note that a significant part of Earth's interior is liquid.

How the convection occur in earth's mantle?
convection occurs in the asthenosphere, which is located under the lithosphere. the inner core heats the liquid mantle and it circles and produces plate tectonic activity.
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the Earth's interior cools down?
If Earth's interior cools to a non liquid state, the convection currents will stop.
Match the structure in column 1 to the characteristics in column 2 a moho barrier thinnest layer b oceanic crust layer that moves the crust c upper mantle located near the outer core d?
Moho barrier: Top of mantleOceanic crust: Thinnest layerUpper mantle: Moves the crustLower mantle: Borders liquid core
Match the structure in column 1 to the characteristics in column 2 2.1.6?
Moho barrier=where crust meets the mantle Oceanic crust=Thinnest layer
What Borders liquid core?
The liquid core of Earth is surrounded by the solid mantle and crust. This liquid outer core is mostly composed of iron and nickel, and it is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
Mantle layer with more convection Mantle layer with less convection?
The mantle layer with more convection is the upper mantle, which has a higher temperature and undergoes vigorous convection currents. In contrast, the lower mantle has less convection due to its higher pressure and lower temperature, leading to slower convective movement.
What name is given to the area where volcanoes often occurs because convection in the earths mantle produces a column of magma that rises into the crust?
hotspots
