Convection Currents
Tectonic Plates
1. The earths core heats up the magma above causing it to rise slowly upwards towards the crust. 2. As the magma rises it then begins to cool. 3. This cooling results in the magma becoming heavier and sinking back down towards the core. 4. The cycle continuosly reapeats and and causes a circular movemnt of magma ( convection currents) in the mantle.
5. These convection currents cause the plates to move verry slovly. The plates are dragged appart, are pushed together or slide past eatchother.
Earth Layers
Crust: The thin outer layer of earth made up of solid rock. Plate:A large slab of the earths crust. PLate Boundary: Where plates meet. Mantle: Found underneath the crust. Consists of hot molten and semi-molten rock, known as magma. It moves around in the form of very slow currents. Outer Core:Consists of liquid nickle and iron, this is molten. Inner Core:The solid centre of the earth Temparatures here are extremely high, uo to six hundred degrees celsius.
