Convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the plates to move. When this happens, mountains can form.

What is a constructive force caused by the convection currents in the earths mantle?
a constructive force is a natural event that helps the earth like wheathering
Are there convection currents in the molten part of the earths interior?
Yes there are! That's why the plates move! It's caused by convection circulating the magma in the mantle creating currents!
How do convection currents occur?
the dinosaurs go poof as the went into the earths center
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
What are effects of convection currents in the mantle?
The effects of convection currents in the mantle are an overall movement of magma, the shifting of plates, and the even distribution of heat. This helps to reduce the amount of earthquakes and volcano eruptions.

What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?

What kind of currents drive earths plates?
Convection currents.
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cools down?
the convection currents will stop
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?
How are convection currents in water like convection currents in earths mantle?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
How do earths convection currents move?
from plate tectonics
Where in the earths layers are the convection currents found?
Lithosphere
Most geologists thinks that the movement of earths plates is caused by?
Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat.
