convection currents in the mantle

convection currents in the mantle



The plates move in response to the slow convection currents in the mantle.



Convection Currents. The mantle



Mantle CONVECTION. Convection occurs because the density of a fluid is



Convection currents in the crust, known as the lithosphere



Inside the mantle, convection currents rise slowly, fueled by heat in the



Convection currents within the mantle



Various convection current systems proposed for tectonic movement.



The food coloring moves through the water as a result of convection currents



These convection currents are created by heat from within the earth - much



(mantle plumes, subduction zones, midocean ridges, convection currents,



ride on the asthenosphere, which flows due to convection currents.



The mantle is a hotbed of unrest, with swirling convection currents



the upper mantle towards



The Mantle



This creates a slow vertical current in the mantle.



Note the assumed mantle convection. When a fluid is heated from beneath,



The aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of



the convection currents in the mantle moves the plates of the Earth.



The movement of the plates is driven by convection currents in the mantle.
