There are convection currents in the mantle which move, carrying the plates above them. The crust is the outer layer of the Earth. It is a thin layer ...

Convection currents happen in the upper mantle. The core is hot and heats molten (melted) rock. This heated rock rises and hits the underside of the plate.

18 окт. 2024 г. · Convection currents The more widely understood and most commonly used theory is convection - at the Earth's core temperatures reach around 6, ...

Where convection currents push plates together, destructive plate boundaries (margins) are formed. Plate tectonics cause earthquakes

This process repeats forming convection currents throughout the mantle which are strong enough to drive plate movement of a few centimeters per year.

Convection currents, that occur within the molten rock in the mantle, act like a conveyor belt for the plates. Tectonic plates move in different directions.

This process of heating, rising, cooling and sinking forms currents within the magma called convection currents.

Convection currents are circular motions of fluid, such as air or water, driven by temperature differences. Hot fluid rises, cools, and then sinks, creating a ...
