What else can I help you with?
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
Heat transfer from the mantle creates convection currents that drive the movement of Earth's crustal plates. As hotter mantle material rises, it pushes the crust apart at mid-ocean ridges, while cooler material sinks, pulling the crust down in subduction zones. This movement of the crust is known as plate tectonics.
What is the name given to the area where volcanoes often occur because convection in the earths mantle produces a column of magma that rises into the crust?
hotspots
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.
Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What name is given to the area where volcanoes often occurs because convection in the earths mantle produces a column of magma that rises into the crust?
hotspots
Why is the earths crust always moving?
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
Where was the continental drift?
Continental drift occurs under the earths crust by convection currents in the mantle which drives the plates. It has been happening since the development of the earths core and is happening now and until the end of the earth.
Convection currents in the earths crust causes volcanos?
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.
Which layer of the earth is the place where convection occurs?
Convection currents rese and sink through the mantle and the liquid outer core. In Earth's mantle, large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents. Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle.
Is the crust a convection?
The crust is not a convection, but rather a rigid outer shell of the Earth made up of solid rock. Convection occurs in the mantle beneath the crust, where the heat generated by the Earth's core drives movement in the molten rock.
Which layers of the earth does convection occur?
Convection occurs mainly in the mantle, which is the layer beneath the Earth's crust. The heat generated by the core causes convection currents in the mantle, leading to the movement of tectonic plates.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
What is the layer of earth beneath the crust called?
The layer of the Earth below the crust is called the mantle. The mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth with a depth of 2,890 kilometers.
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
What is beneath the earths crust that circulates like a conveyor belt?
The mantle is beneath the earth's crust, and it circulates in a process known as mantle convection. This convection is driven by the heat from the Earth's core, causing molten rock to move in a circular motion, much like a conveyor belt.
