will mark brainliest! if its right!Scientists have discovered convection currents inside Earth. Explain how these convection currents move and what layer(s) they occur in 

Respuesta :

Convection currents occur in the mantle and the outer core of the earth’s interior.   The convections in the mantle are responsible for the tectonic plates movement of the crust. The convection currents in the outer core are significant in generating the earth’s  magnetic fields.    

ANSWER:

Convection current production is a natural process that occurs in three layers of earth:

  • Geosphere
  • Atmosphere
  • Hydrosphere

Movement of convection currents:

  • The radioactive decay produces the heat in interior part of the earth.
  • Now, the current developed in asthenosphere gets transferred to the surface that initiates the break of magma.  
  • Plate tectonics produces the current in geosphere. In hydrosphere ocean water produces the current. Wind is the current generator in atmosphere.
