Currents of Rock

Explain how convection currents are related to plate tectonics. Why would this be important to the work of Alfred Wegener?

They are related to plate tectonics because they help the plates and i would be helpfull

They help plates.

Summer K. said...

I think that they are related because the movement of the plates

I think that convection currents are related to plate tectonics by the movement of the plates

Tessa L. said...

They are related because of the movement of the plates.

Cameron F said...

They are related because of the moving plates under us.

Nico J. said...

Convection currents are related to plate tectonics because they are both related to the movement of tectonic plates. This would be important to the work of Alfred Wegener because it would support his theory of Continental Drift.

They do help plate tectonics because they help form earthquakes and yes it would help wegener's theory.

there related to the movement of plates

i think convection currents are related to plates because of the movement in the plates

Contessa F. said...

They are related because of the tectonic plates below us.

They are related to tectonic plates because of the movement of the plates.

Allie H. said...

Convection currents are related because they both have something to do with tectonic plates and when tectonic plates move. This would be important to Alfred Wegener because it would be evidence of his continental drift theory.

I think tectonic plates and convection currents are related by movement, and it wold be important to Alfred Wegener because it would support his theory by slowly making the continents move.

Rachel P. said...

Convention currents are related to plate tectonics because convention currents are because of the plates. This is important to Alfred Wegener because it has to do with how the plates move.

Aiden S. said...

convection currents are related because they are what might make the tecktonic plates.

Convection Currents are the parts of tectonic plates that help them move around

the mechanisms the cause the techoic plates to move.

Convection currents are related because they might be what makes tectonic plates.

Elise R. said...

Convection Currents help move plates and it would help Alfred Wegener with his studies.

Gavin R. said...

Covection currents are related to plate tectonic through machanism that causes them to move.

They are related because of the movement of the plates.

Both are related to plate tectonics because they are both related to the movement of tectonic plates. It would be important to Alfred because he had the theory of the plate tectonics in the first place, before anyone else.

Austin K said...

Colder rocks go into the earth and the hear comes out and moves the tectonic plates.

Katherine G. said...

Carter F. said...

Convection currents are the movement of the plates.

William brackett said...

They are related because they help with them

Macey C. said...

Convection currents move the continents by pushing the cooler magma up and the hot magma stays down. It helped proved Wegener's theory that the plates moved.

lily o said...

Both of them are related to tectonic plates because they move the plates

Emma B said...

Convection currents are related to tectonic plates because they move the plates. It would be important to Alfred Wegener's work because the plate tectonics move the continents.

Kadie K said...

They are related because of the movement of tectonic plates. This would be important because it would support Alfred Wegner's therory.

Grace Q said...

they both together make a mantle.

Grace D said...

They're related because convection currents are what happen when plates move this would be important to Alfred weenier because without this movement continents couldn't move.

kolby said...

they are related cause of the movment of the tectomic plates

Ariella S said...

Convection currents cause the tectonic plates to move.

Erica C. said...

They're related to plate tectonics because both of them are related to the movement of tectonic plates. It would be important to his work because it would support his theory of Continental Drift.

Ethan F. said...

Convection currents are what supposedly move the plates. This is important to Alfred Wenger's theory because it can cause new plate to form in between continents, causing them to move apart.

Brianna G said...

They are related because convection current moves plate tectonics.

David R. said...

they help the movement of plates

lindsey p said...

They help the movement of the plates and this would relate to Wegener because his theory involved plates.

They help the movement of the plates. It would be important for Alfred Wegener because he discovered plates.

They are related to tectonic plates because of the plates movement.

The movement of the plates makes them related
