What makes the plates move?

Explain how convection currents are related to plate tectonics? 

58 comments:

  1. convection currents in Earth's mantle to the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. The upward current in a convection cell cycle is associated with divergent plate boundaries, as heated magma rises and spreads out beneath the lithospheric plates.

  2. because hot rock rises

  3. Convection currents are related to plate tectonics because the volcanic vents are on the splits of the plates. The convection currents carry magma to the surface of the Earth.

  4. Tectonic plates move because hot rocks rise and push the plates apart.

  8. Convection currents and tectonic plates are related because heat from the convection currents can rise out of a tectonic plate boundary.

  10. Convection currents is the heating rising cooling process and if the crust and part of the upper mantle wasn't divided into sections the hot liquid couldn't rise .

  11. Because convection currents is the heating rising cooling process and if the crust and part of the upper mantle wasn't divided into sections the heated material couldn't rise up.

  12. This lecture relates the movement of convection currents in Earth's mantle to the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. The upward current in a convection cell cycle is associated with divergent plate boundaries, as heated magma rises and spreads out beneath the lithospheric plates.

  13. The heat causes the rock to spread

  14. They both moves parts of earth.

  16. The plates move than heats up then it makes the volcano erupt.

  17. I believe that the currents are related to the plates by there actions,they move the ground and change the plates positions.

  18. Tectonic plates move because hot heat rises and pushes the plates apart.

  19. Heat goes up cooler stuff goes down.

  20. Because of convection current, the tectonic plates move.

  21. Heat make the rocks heat up then the volcano explodes.

  22. The magma rises which is pushing the tectonic plates apart.

  24. Convection currant is what makes the tectonic plates move and shift

  25. Convection Currents and Tectonic plates related because the plates move, become heated and melted into magma and then released from a volcano.

  26. When tectonic plates move they create tunnels big enough to send lava to the surface.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Heat makes the rock heat up.

    I got this from Hannah.

  28. Convection current is the cycle of the movement beneath the earth, such as tectonic plates and them moving.

  31. Convection current is the movement beneath the earth that make the tectonic plates move.

  32. Convection Current make the tectonic plates move!

  33. Convection currents is the way things move under the earth, such as plate tectonics.

  34. The earths plates are floating and getting pulled apart by the current.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Convection currents are why the plates move.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The plates move due to convection currents

    ReplyDelete
  37. Convention current is movement under the earths surface just like when two tectonic plates under the earths surface

    ReplyDelete
  38. Convection currents relate to plate tectonics because when the hot rock rises new oceanic crust is made causing the tectonic plates to move.

  39. Convection current is the movement under the earth and moving the tectonic plates.

  40. The currents is what moves the plates.

    Convection is the movement under the earth moving tectonic plates. it relates to plate tectonics because when the hot rock rises, new oceanic crust is made causing the plates to move.

  42. It is what moves the plates :)

    It what moves the plates.

  44. Convection currents are what makes the plates move.

  45. It's what moves the plates.

  46. The currents of the earth moves the plates under the ground

  47. Convection currents is the way things move under the earth, such as plate tectonics. I agree with lewin.

  48. The Tectonic plates are moved by the Convection Currents.

    ReplyDelete
  49. it will start with the plates moving with the heat rising and then the volcanos burst

  50. The currents move the plates.

  51. Convection current relates plate tectonics because convection current pushes up on the plates and creates seafloor spreading. Also if one plate goes underneath the other plate it creates a volcano. Convection current relates plate tectonics because convection current pushes up on the plates and creates seafloor spreading.

  52. the currents make tectonic plates move causing sea floor spreading

  53. Convection currents is how things move under the surface of the earth, which could be tethonic plates.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Convection currents move around under the lithosphere and move around the plates.
