The two layers below Earth's surface where convection takes place are the mantle and the outer core. In the mantle, convection currents are responsible for plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's lithosphere. In the outer core, convection currents drive the movement of molten iron that generates Earth's magnetic field.
What else can I help you with?
What rock can melt at a depth of about below earths surface?
50km
What is igneous rock that forms below earths surface extrusive or intrusive?
Igneous rock that forms below the Earth's surface is intrusive.
WHAT IS EARTHS INFERRED PRESURE AT A DEPTH OF 3500 KM BELOW THE SURFACE?
The inferred pressure at a depth of 3500 km below the Earth's surface is estimated to be around 1.3 million times atmospheric pressure at sea level. At such depths, the immense weight of the overlying rock layers causes this high pressure.
What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?
i think the answer your looking for is igneous rock.....that is the type of rock you get after megma cools.....
Earths lower mantle lies just below the?
Earths lower mantle lies just below the upper mantle extending from 400 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. This region primarily consists of dense, solid rock materials that experience high pressures and temperatures. The lower mantle plays a significant role in the Earth's mantle convection, which drives tectonic plate movements and heat transfer within the Earth.
What describes the circular motion of heat below the earths surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms

What is true about plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
Which describes the circular motion of heat below earths surface?
Convection is the process that describes the circular motion of heat below Earth's surface. In the Earth's mantle, convection currents are driven by the heat generated from the core and the radioactive decay of elements. These currents play a crucial role in plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
