∙ 7y agoConvection currents in Earth's mantle occur due to the heat generated from the core, which causes the hot, less dense mantle material to rise towards the surface. As it reaches the top, it cools and becomes denser, causing it to sink back down. This continuous cycle of rising and sinking material drives the movement of tectonic plates on the surface.
One result of convection currents in Earth's outer core is the generation of Earth's magnetic field. As the hot, molten iron in the outer core moves in a circular motion due to convection currents, it creates a dynamo effect that generates the magnetic field.
mantle.
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
Convection currents occur in the mantle, which is the layer beneath the Earth's crust. These currents are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates and play a key role in shaping the Earth's surface through processes like plate tectonics and volcanic activity.
Yes, there are convection currents in the molten part of Earth's interior, known as the mantle. Heat from the core drives these currents, causing hot molten rock to rise, cool, and then sink back down in a continuous cycle. These convection currents play a key role in plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's crust.

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?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
from plate tectonics

The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.

False.
