What is a Convection Current?
A Convection Current is the transfer of heat through groups of molecules. In order for convection to occur you need free moving molecules, such as water or air. Warmer molecules will rise, while cooler ones will sink, creating a convection.

What does a Volcano blow out when erupting?
A Volcano erupts Lava, which later forms into Magma.

There are now 7 Continents today.

What causes an Earthquake? a. Faults b. Techtonic Plates c. Convection Currents d. Big Foot
Big Foot! No just kidding. The real answer would be b, Techtonic Plates.

What can Convection Currents cause?
A Convection Current can cause "flows" in the 3rd layer of the Earth's Crust, causing the Plates to move around. Another example of what Convection Currents can create is bad weather by bringing hot and cold air together :)

How does a is a Volcano formed?
Most volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates on the surface of the earth. These plates are basically huge pieces of rock that ‘float’ on the mantle (a layer of the earth that is sort-of liquid rock). The tectonic plates are in constant motion, albeit very slow motion. They sometimes move toward each other, other times they’ll move apart, and still other times one will sink while the other rises above it.

What cause Techtonic Plates to move?
Convection Currents cause Techtonic Plates to move.

What do you use to detect an Earthquake is in motion.
A Seismometer or a Seismograph.

What causes the Hawaiian Islands to keep expanding?
The Hawaiian Islands keep expanding because as more and more Volcanoes erupt, the more land people are able to sell and buy.
