How are crustal plates moved?
It is causes by Bobby Chen jumping up and down
What is constructive force caused by the convection currents in the earth's mantle?
continental drift? tectonic plate movement?
What are convection currents created by?
Convection currents are the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) caused by the molecular motion resulting from the transfer of heat through the fluid. In meteorology it is the vertical movement of atmospheric gases caused by heat, atmospheric pressure, condensation of water vapor, and other factors.
What is a convection current caused by?
The liquid or gas which transfers the heat can circulate round and round between the hot and cold regions. The flow of liquid or gas is called a convection current. Convection currents are caused by changes in density.
What happens inside the earth that causes a plate to move?
Conventional theory hold that plate movement is due convection currents caused by heat from Earth's interior.
What is caused by convection currents?
the movement of the plats on earth and if it has pressure applied, it can lead to earthquakes or volcanoes
Most geologists thinks that the movement of earths plates is caused by?
Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat.

What force caused the movement of the continents from one supercontinent to their presents positions?
the movement of convection currents in the mantle is the cause of plate motion.

Is convection currents caused by the heat of the core?
true
Plate motion is caused partly by magnetic reversals convection currents continental drift or volacnic hot spots?
Convection currents
Why is the asthenosphere important to the theory of plate tectonics?
It is the movement of ductile rock in the asthenosphere caused by convection currents that creates movement of the lithospheric plates. It is the conveyor belt on which the plates move.
