convection currents. the great heat and pressure inside the mantle causes the solid rock to move very slowly.
Whoo! Go science!
GO MATH >B) SHAM WOW!!!! whoa that was randoom

Very slow movement of rock downhill?
creep
What is the very slow downhill movement of rock and soil?
creep
What is the slow downhill mass movement of rock and soil caused by gravity?
Landslide or landslip.
What does creep erosion mean?
the process by which bits of broken rock are carried away and the slow downhill movement of rock and soil.
Under what condition below would you expect a coarse-grained intrusive rock like diorite to form?
Slow cooling in the upper mantle
What is the slow movement of rock called that transfers heat in the mantle?
This process is known as convection.
Do slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle?
Yes. It's true that slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle
If convection in the mantle slowed what will slow also?
The Mantle would be able to slow dow and then they would stop the movement
What would happen if Earth's convection currents in Earth's mantle slowed down.?
If the convection currents in the earth's mantle slowed down then the mantle would slow down. Eventually, the mantle would stop all movement.
Does slow movements of mantle rock called radiation transfer heat in the mantle?
You have the mechanism of heat transfer correct but the name for it incorrect! The process where slow movements of mantle rocks transfer heat is known as convection.
Are slow movements of mantle rock called radiation heat transfer?
The movements of mantle rock is a classic example of thermal convection, though there will be some conductivity as well.
Very slow movement of rock downhill?
creep
What is the very slow downhill movement of rock and soil?
creep
Why do plates move so slowly?
because they are floating on top of a liquid mantle
What is the slow downhill movement of rock and soil caused by gravity?
Landslide or landslip.
What is the slow movement of material inside Earth caused by?
The core of the earth contains radioactive material and this causes a convection current in the mantle.
What is the slow downhill mass movement of rock and soil caused by gravity?
Landslide or landslip.
