The slow circulation of the plastic mantle in the earths asthenosphere occurs by what processes?
convection
Earths lithosphere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The motion in the mantle is known as convection currents which helps move earth's slabs, known as plates. Convection occurs in the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
What is a destructive force caused by convection currents in the earths mantle?
Convection currents in the Earth's mantle are thought to be responsible for plate motions and therefore can ultimately be considered the cause of earthquakes. Mantle upwelling or mantle plumes are also thought to be the cause of hotpots which cause intra-plate volcanic activity such as that which occurs in Hawaii.
When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
what does the energy come out as when a shift occurs in the earths crust called
Earths weather occurs in the thermosphere?
False, it occurs in the troposphere.

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
Where was the continental drift?
Continental drift occurs under the earths crust by convection currents in the mantle which drives the plates. It has been happening since the development of the earths core and is happening now and until the end of the earth.

The primary method of energy transfer by which Earth loses energy to outer space is?
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.

False, it occurs in the troposphere.
Why mantle convection occurs?
because your mom
One method of protecting the genetic identity of a population is the inability of spermatozoa to fertilize ova of a different species This is called?
Gametic incompatibility is a method of protecting the genetic identity of a population. In this method, sperm transfer occurs but the egg is not fertilized.
How radiation and convection is alike?
Conduction, Convection, and radiation are all ways that heat can be transferred between 2 objects. Conduction is transfer by direct contact like when you cook something on the stove. Convection occurs when heat is transferred by movement like in the Earth's mantle. Radiation occurs when waves are used to transfer heat like sunlight.
