Answer:

Mantle layer

Explanation:

The convection of the mantle layer is when energy in the form of heat is transferred from the interior of the earth to the top of the planet, creating convection currents.

This convection in the mantle causes movements in the earth's tectonic plates, which are found in the lithosphere, so the movement of Eath's lithosphere is caused by convection within the mantle layer on the earth. This plate movements can cause earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

Answer:

The answer is mantle

Explanation:

Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: Some household items that contain acids include: yogurt, vinegar,lemon juice, citric acid, apples, jelly, pineapples, cranberry sauce, milk, and batteries and In chemistry, pH is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH. At room temperature, pure water is neither acidic nor basic and has a pH of 7.

Earlier we discussed the concept of isostasy, where lower density rocks rise higher than higher density rocks. How is the variat

Elena L [17]

The variation of water depth at spreading centers (ridges) controlled by isostasy as convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

<h3>What is convective heat transfer?</h3>

When heat transfer takes place between the two fluids in direct or indirect contact.

The lithosphere cools when it moves away from the ridge axis by sea floor spreading. The cooler rocks have low density, so the sea floor gets deeper as the lithosphere gets more dense.

Thus, the convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.
