The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
Describe the convection currents that occur inside Earth?
Convection currents are the movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. In the case of the Earth, convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Who discovered convection currents?
Arthur Holmes discovered convection currents. He made two contributions on how the planet earth works. He was the very first scientist to understand convection currents in the earth.
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
Where do convection currents flow through the earth?
The mantle called the asthenosphere
What produced convection currents in Earth's atmosphere?
what produces convection currents in earth's atmosphere
How is the rock cycle related to the movement of earth's plate?
convection currents convection currents convection currents

Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
How do convection currents affect earth?
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
What determines flow of heat?
Convection currents.
How does the convection currents cause te crust of the Earth to move?
Because the convection currents involve the Earth's crust.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Heat from the earth's interior causes convection currents in which layer of earth?
Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics.Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere.
Who discovered convection currents?
Arthur Holmes discovered convection currents. He made two contributions on how the planet earth works. He was the very first scientist to understand convection currents in the earth.
