1. Which layer of the Earth do convection currents occur in? (1pt)

2. Explain how these convection currents cause the crust of the Earth to
move.

Answer 1

it causes an earthquake

Answer 2

They occur in the mantle

The heat from the core causes upward convection currents which then split apart near the crust. Since the mantle is molten the crust is essentially floating on it so they move in the direction of the currents
