How do convection cells move plates?
Convection cells form when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. This rising and sinking pattern causes the plates to move.
What causes a convection current?
Actually, there are many ways for a convection current to form. So, if you asked this question, here is one way:A convection current forms when Hot air and Cold air form a cycle and mix. . .That's one way!ToodlesByee
How are crustal plates moved?
It is causes by Bobby Chen jumping up and down
What is the force that causes plates to move sideways?
Convection. It consists of heated magma rising, then cooling, sinking, and reheating constantly in the mantle.
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.

What make fluids rise and sink in a convection current?
Fluids rise and sink in a convection current due to differences in temperature and density. When a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating an upward flow. As it cools, it becomes more dense and sinks, creating a downward flow. This continuous cycle of heating and cooling drives the convection current.
Which process causes transfer of energy by air current within earth atmosphere?
convection
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
What causes the global air convection current between the equators and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
How does convection current occur in the mantle?
radioactive decay takes place, which produces lot of heat and causes the mantle to flow in convection currents veena
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
Heat rising from within earth causes earth's what to move?
Heat rising from within the Earth causes the Earth's tectonic plates to move. The constant rising and sinking of heat are called convection currents.
What causes the convection cell to turn up to point a?
It hits the bottom of the crust (lithosphere) and has to turn left!
