How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
What does the mantle convection cause?
Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
What separates the mantle and core?
convection currents
What are effects of connection currents in the mantle?
The flow of mantle effects convection currents in the mantle. This process happens as hot material within the mantle begins to rise. As it rises, it begins to cool and then sinks. This process repeats as a cycle of convection currents.
What causes tectonic plate movement?
Mantle convection currents move the crustal plates that float atop the mantle. Like convection currents in a hot cup of coffee or tea move pepper flakes or pieces of glitter sprinkled on top and floating on the liquid.
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
What is the name of the process that causes mantle movement?
convection currents
What is primary causes of crustal movement?
Convection currents in the mantle.
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.
What do scientists think causes movements of the pates?
Convection currents in the mantle.
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
What causes convection currents in the earth's mantle and oceans and in the air?
Heat differentials.
How thick are the convection currents?
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
How does convection current occur in the mantle?
radioactive decay takes place, which produces lot of heat and causes the mantle to flow in convection currents veena
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
