Is the crust a convection?

The crust is not a convection, but rather a rigid outer shell of the Earth made up of solid rock. Convection occurs in the mantle beneath the crust, where the heat generated by the Earth's core drives movement in the molten rock.

Convection currents in the earths crust causes volcanos?

No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.


How does convection currenctions work inside the earth?

Convection currents happen in the mantle and cause tectonic plates to drift. The earth is made up of the iron and nickel core, then the mantle then the crust. And the earths surface is made up of tectonic plates. These plates move due to convection currents.
