In molten rock, convection currents occur due to the movement of hot material rising and cooler material sinking. As the molten rock near the Earth's core heats up, it becomes less dense and rises towards the surface. As it cools at the surface, it becomes denser and sinks back down. This continuous cycle of rising and sinking creates convection currents that can drive tectonic plate movements.

How does the magma chamber work?
Magma Chamber: underground pocket of molten rock
Would plate tectonics work if the mantle were made out of normal solid rock?
No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.
What type of work rocks are formed by the solidification of the hot and molten matter?
volcanic rocks
How does convection currenctions work inside the earth?
Convection currents happen in the mantle and cause tectonic plates to drift. The earth is made up of the iron and nickel core, then the mantle then the crust. And the earths surface is made up of tectonic plates. These plates move due to convection currents.
How much work is done on a 40 N rock that won't move when pushed?
Work = (force) x (distance)Without motion, there is no work, no matter how great the force.

Does convection work in sand?
no it does not.

How does a convectional oven work?
Convection ovens have a fan in them which circulates the air. That makes for faster cooking (20%)
How can molten be used in a sentence?
Molten is an adjective which means liquefied due to temperature. Thus it can be used in the following possible sentences:Volcanoes can sometimes spew rivers of molten lava.The jeweller was working straight off a pot of molten gold.Molten iron can be dangerous to work with.
How do convection currents affect the rock cycle?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Convection currents deep within the Earth help move molten rock, creating magma chambers and causing volcanic eruptions. This volcanic activity plays a big role in the rock cycle by forming new igneous rocks. Just like how we add layers of paint to create a beautiful painting, these processes work together to shape and transform the Earth's surface over time.
What does conduction and convection need to work?
Heat energy and a temperature difference.
Do batteries work by Isothermal Convection?
No, voltaic cells (most of what you call "batteries" are actually voltaic cells) work by oxidation and reduction. "Isothermal convection" is a term with which I am unfamiliar that seems like an oxymoron; if everything is the same temperature (isothermal) then convection won't occur, because temperature differences are what drive convection.
Will titanium cookware work with convection heat?
Yes, titanium cookware works well with convection heat. Titanium is a good heat conductor, allowing it to heat evenly in convection ovens. Just be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for safe use in convection settings.
What type of work rocks are formed by the solidification of the hot and molten matter?
volcanic rocks
How does convection work with conduction transfer energy throughout the atmosphere?
it works by earth
