Does convection currents produce the heat in the Earths interior?
Convection currents transfer heat from Earth's core to the mantle, causing the mantle material to flow and create movement in the lithosphere. This movement generates heat due to friction and pressure. So, convection currents help distribute heat within Earth's interior rather than produce it.
What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?
Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.
What part of the earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plated to move?
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.
Where in the earths layers are the convection currents found?
Lithosphere
The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cools down?
the convection currents will stop
Convection currents produce the heat in the earths interior?
False.

What would happend to the convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cooled down?
They will stop.
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plated?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cooled down?
the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity
What kind of currents drive earths plates?
Convection currents.

Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
Are there convection currents in the molten part of the earths interior?
Yes, there are convection currents in the molten part of Earth's interior, known as the mantle. Heat from the core drives these currents, causing hot molten rock to rise, cool, and then sink back down in a continuous cycle. These convection currents play a key role in plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's crust.
