How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
What causes or drives ocean currents?
the wind
Deep ocean currents?
density-and temperature-driven currents that move slowly within the ocean; also called thermohaline currents.
Why doesn't the ice cap move?
It does, as it is at the mercy of ocean currents.
What causes the water in the blue currents to sink?
Water in the blue currents is colder, saltier, and denser than water in the red currents
What causes ocean currents?
wind causes ocean currents.
What causes the hot materials beneath ocean floor to move?
Convection currents.
What causes ocean currents to move in different directions in different hemispheres?
North and South poles
What causes the oceanic lithosphere to move away from the mid-ocean ridge?
it is caused by convection currents
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy

How does the sun cause ocean currents on the Earth?
The uneven heating of the earth by the sun causes currents in the ocean and I believe that the reason why they move in circular motions because of a proses called convection.

Do convection currents cause currents?
Convection Currents causes the tectonic plates to move which causes earthquakes.
What causes currents in the ocean and atmosphere?
Convection currents and changes in pressure.
What causes ocean currents to move in a circular flow?
There's a secret elevator shaft in China where millions of workers descend and take mine carts until they are under the ocean floor. From there they spin giant turbines that cause the ocean currents to move in a circular flow.
How does energy move through ocean currents?
Energy moves through the ocean's currents with Convection.
