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
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.
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.
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.

hotspots
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
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.
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.

Does the mantle support the Earths crust?
yes it does.
