Convection cells are lava underneath the surface of the earth that moves in a circular motion! When the lava gets closer to the centre of the earth, because heat rises, it goes upwards in a circular motion. Then it's further away from the heat so it cools down, and cool air sinks, so it goes down! The process is completed and this is called a convection cell this repeats everyday under the surface!
What else can I help you with?
How can tectonic plates move thousands of miles?
Tectonic plates move thousands of miles because they are not anchored down.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
Does magnetism make the tectonic plates move?
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
How can tectonic plates move thousands of miles?
Tectonic plates move thousands of miles because they are not anchored down.
In what direction do tectonic plates go?
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
What is the point where the tectonic plates move causing an earthquake?
earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates
What is stresses in tectonic plates?
Magma moving underneath the earth causes tectonic plates to move about.
How do the tectonic plates of the earth move?
no
Do convection current in oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
How do tectonic plates cause contenitial drift?
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
