14
New cards
stage 1
heat from the earths core causes magma to heat up and rise
15
New cards
stage 2
when hot magma reaches under the earths crust it moves in all directions dragging the crust with it
16
New cards
stage3
the hot magma cools as it is further from the core this makes it heavier
17
New cards
stage4
when magma cools it sinks towards the core where it is reheated
18
New cards
stage 5
this cycle is repeated again and again causing convection current
