Convection currents affect the movement of plates on the Earth's crust. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
Bun what do you think? :)
I think it's False idk ;-;
The Proccess Explained: When the mantle rocks near the radioactive core are heated, they become less dense than the cooler, upper mantle rocks. These warmer rocks rise while the cooler rocks sink, creating slow, vertical currents within the mantle (these convection currents move mantle rocks only a few centimeters a year). This movement of warmer and cooler mantle rocks, in turn, creates pockets of circulation within the mantle called convection cells. The circulation of these convection cells are the driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates over the athenosphere. So True :)
Omg, thank you :)
Np :)
