Are plate tectonics caused by convection currents in the mantle?
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
What is a convection current caused by?
The liquid or gas which transfers the heat can circulate round and round between the hot and cold regions. The flow of liquid or gas is called a convection current. Convection currents are caused by changes in density.
Continents moved slowly to their current location?
This is called continental drift, and it is caused by convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
What is two neighboring plates move toward each other?
it is a convergent boundary. it is caused by the convection currents in the mantle of the earth's core. this stress is called compression
What evidence can you give that granulation is caused by convection?
Convection is caused by the mottled appearance of the solar photosphere, caused by gases rising from the interior of the Sun.
What is convection in liquid?
The convection is a current caused by warmer liquid rising and cooler liquid sinking.
What is a current caused by the rising of heated fluid and sinking of cooled fluid called?
The current is called a convection current.
What is the movement of material caused by the interaction warm and cool material?
Convection Current

Need a sentence for convection current?
I learned what convection means in science class.
What forces sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading is caused by convection currents in the mantle to cause a divergent boundary underwater. When the divergent boundary spreads, it caues a mid-ocean ridge. This is sea-floor spreading. Hope I helped!
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 circular motion of fluid caused by rising and sinking of heated and cooler fluid called?
The circular motion is called convection current.
