The heat comes from the outer core, which provides the heat.
How does a convection current move rock
By remembering the process of convection and convection current rainfall we can relate both. Land breeze and sea breeze are due to convection current and humidity also occur there due to this.
Convection
Waves is the part of convection current. This is the mantle and is related to plate motions.
uneven temperatures
The heat comes from the outer core, which provides the heat.
Convection Current
The convection current in the mantle drives the movement of tectonic plates.
They are convection currents in the earth's mantle.
Differences in a materials __________ is what drives convection
No Density also drives convection.
The thermal convection that drives plate motion is caused by the movement of molten rock in the mantle. Heat from Earth's core causes the mantle to circulate in a convection current, which in turn drags the overlying tectonic plates along with it, driving plate motion.
Yes. Convection is a type of energy and a convection current is, well, the phrase for its currents. So yeah, convection and convection current are the same.
The heat source that drives convection currents inside the Earth is primarily from the decay of radioactive elements within the Earth's core. This heat causes the material in the mantle to become less dense and rise, creating convection currents that drive the movement of tectonic plates.
A convection current, however, this can also occur with gases.
