mantle.
Scientists believe that tectonic plates are moved primarily by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Although volcanoes can play a role in some plate movements, such as at subduction zones, they are not the primary driving force behind the overall motion of tectonic plates.
There are multiple convection currents within the Earth's mantle. These currents are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates, which leads to processes such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
It is the mantle that is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core creates these currents, which drive the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
Convection currents in the mantle
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
No, convection currents in the mantle are the primary driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates. These currents are generated by heat from the Earth's core, causing movement in the mantle that in turn drags and moves the overlying tectonic plates.
Convection currents.
convection currents :)
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
convection currents
The asthenosphere, which is a partially molten layer in the upper mantle, has convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move due to the heat-driven circulation of rock material. These convection currents are responsible for the continuous motion of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core causes these currents, which transfer heat to the surface and drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
convection currents
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.
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
