What is the mechanical layer of Earth that has the most active convection currents

Definition1/13

The Earth's core.

Term1/13

Which side is day light

Definition1/13

If you mean "which side of planet Earth", that changes all the time, as Earth rotates.

Term1/13

A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary

Definition1/13

A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary

Term1/13

What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the mantle

Definition1/13

The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.

Term1/13

How does earths solid inner core affect seismic waves

Definition1/13

Seismic waves contain both P waves and S waves. P waves can travel through the Earth including the inner core while S waves could not pass through the core.
