What is the main source of heat in Earth's interior?
the mantle plume There are two source of heat in the earth's interior. The main two sources are fire and breathing heat.
Is the mantle heated mainly by the heat conducted from the core?
No, the main heat source for the mantle (as well as the core) is radioactive decay of elements like uranium within the mantle itself (or core, respectively). Heat rising from the core into the already hot mantle does set up the differential heat profile that drives much of the mantle convection, but even without the additional core heat the mantle would convect (but slower) so that its heat would rise to the crust.
What is a surface expression of a plume of magma rising from a stationary source of heat in the mantle?
A hotspot volcano.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
How heat energy from earth's mantle is eventually transformed into waves caused by earthquakes?
to be cool by Alhassan
Source of heat for the mantle?
radio activity?
What is the source of heat in the mantle?
Source of heat in mantle come from radioactive decay of the radioactive elements inside the earth..
What is the source of heating in the mantle?
Source of heat in mantle come from radioactive decay of the radioactive elements inside the earth..
Is the sun the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle?
The heat in the Earth's interior comes from two main sources: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
Does the heat source for the conviction current in the mantle is the sun?
this answer is true
What is a 13 letter word for the source of heat in the mantle?
radioactivity
Does the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle in the sun?
Bad grammar.
What is a energy source for hydrothermal vent?
The heat from deep in the earth's mantle.
What is the main source of the earths interior heat?
the mantle plume There are two source of heat in the earth's interior. The main two sources are fire and breathing heat.
What is the main source of heat in Earth's interior?

Is this truth or false the heat source for the convection currnets in the mantle is the sun?
False.
