When convection currents flow in the mantle, they also move the tectonic plates located on the Earth's surface. These currents are driven by the heat from the Earth's core, causing the mantle material to rise and fall, which in turn creates movement in the lithosphere. This process is fundamental to plate tectonics and contributes to geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What else can I help you with?
What is the state of matter of the Earth's upper mantle?
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
Why flow of electrons is considered as current?
Because that's basically what "current" means - that there is something that flows. For comparison, water flowing in a river is also called a "current".
In which layer of earth do convection current occur?
in the mantle due to the molten rock... hope this helps!!! =] also for better detail they happen in the asthenospheric mantle to
Is alternating current a mechanical or em wave?
Alternating current is a flowing of electricity that changes its polarity (the direction it flows) regularly. EM occurs from AC when the electricity flows in a coil. Substantial EM radiation can also result from AC in a straight wire ... the principle of a radio transmitting antenna.
What are the components of a coastal circulation cell?
The components to a Coastal Circulation Cell are:1.Onshore current: Current from the open sea to shore2.Longshore current: Current that flows parallel to the shore transporting sediments3.Rip Current: Current that takes overflow of sediments to the foreshore or offshore where a Sand Bar or Barrier Island can be formed.

How do convention currents help us understand the geologic activity of the earth?
Convection Current helps us understand the geologic activity of the earth because according to the scientist this current causes the movement of the earth's crust due to the unequal temperature that occurs in the mantle (same also with the breezes). Also, it explains that magma come from th mantle which is believed that the melted crust will spitted up again in the earth's surface which it actually explains the (Theory of Isostacy).

What are two things that can change the amount of current that flows?
voltage and resistance There is also temperature.
Why do you analyze electric circuit on the basis of the conventional current?
You can analyze it by either conventional or electron current, other than the sign they give the same answers. However it is convention to use conventional current, that is the way others will expect to see it done. That is also why it is called conventional current, it is the convention.

What are the two kinds electricity?
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

Why is galvanometer used when you know that electric current travels from cathode to anode of the battery?
I think that you talk about the usage of galvanometer in photoelectric emission experiment. Right? The main purpose of using a galvanometer is to know about whether current flows or not and also the direction in which current flows. Moreover current flows right from anode to cathode and electrons do flow from cathode to anode within the discharge tube.
What causes current flow?
Current flows due to gravity. Example is the water current on a river. Wind is also another factor that causes current to flow, just like ocean water.
What do you need to complete before the current flows?
You need a closed circuit. You also need a voltage source.
Is there a convention center in Kansas?
There are a few convention centers in Kansas. There is The Ramada Inn located in Hays, Kansas. There is also a convention center located in Manhattan, Kansas. Looking in the yellow pages or online can help find the right convention center for the current situation.
What is a long shore current?
A long shore current is sometimes flows along the shore and it also pull people away from the place where they entered the water
