How does the sea keep coastal regions cool during hot summer months?
during summer the sea make land cool because the hot air of land flow towards the sea from the sea the cool air flow toward land which makes it cool. this process known as land breeze and sea breeze
What forms to a mantle plume?
Mantle plumes result in the formation of hot spots.
What types of rock is in the mantle?
the mantle is made up of solid hot rock.
What is the composition and approximate thickness of the mantle?
Earths mantle is less dense and very hot. The mantle is 2885km thick.
What is the area between the mantle and core where hot rocks forced into the crust?
area between the mantle and the core where hot rock is forced into the crust
What regions was the result of plumes of hot mantle rising in a hot spot within a plate?
the islands of hawaii
How do currents in the mantle transfer heat?
hot stuff rises, cool stuff sinks
A very long lived magma source located deep in the mantle is called?
The term hot spot is used to describe a very long-lived magma source located deep in the mantle. J. Tuzo Wilson is credited with having originated the concept of hot spots.
How can mantle flow because its made of hot liquid magma?
Magma in the mantle moves in a current called a convection current. A convection current is a circular flow of a substance in which a hot substance rises, cools, sinks, gets hot again, and repeats. In this way, magma in the mantle flows in currents of more hot or more cool magma.
What are effects of connection currents in the mantle?
The flow of mantle effects convection currents in the mantle. This process happens as hot material within the mantle begins to rise. As it rises, it begins to cool and then sinks. This process repeats as a cycle of convection currents.
Hot spots are areas of volcanic activity located over rising?
Mantle plumes
Parts of tectonic plates that are located above mantle plumes are called?
The part of the tectonic plates located above mantle plumes are called "hot spots". --- Source(s) : Does Google count?
Explain how volcanoes that are located at hot spots form?
Volcanoes located at hot spots form by lying directly above columns of hot rock that rise through Earth's mantle. As a tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume, rising magma causes a chain of volcanic islands to form.
What is the layer of the earth above the core called?
The layer of the Earth above the core is called the mantle. It is located between the core and the Earth's crust. The mantle is composed of hot, semi-solid rock.
What a Mantle?
A mantle is a layer of hot rocks.
How does the subducting plate affect temperature in the asthenosphere?
Subduction results from convection in the asthenosphere. The heat from the core of the earth that is imparted to the mantle causes the mantle to convect much the wayboiling water convects in a pan on the stove. Hot mantle at the core-mantle boundary rises while cool mantle sinks, causing convection cells to form.
What layer of earth is hot rock?
The mantle is the hot rock.
