When does convection occurs?
When a warm fluid rises and a cool fluid sinks.
When the heated part of the Mantle rises through the cooler part its called?
I believe that is convection.
What are effects of connection currents in the mantle?
The flow of mantle effects convection currents in the mantle. This process happens as hot material within the mantle begins to rise. As it rises, it begins to cool and then sinks. This process repeats as a cycle of convection currents.
How does the subducting plate affect temperature in the asthenosphere?
Subduction results from convection in the asthenosphere. The heat from the core of the earth that is imparted to the mantle causes the mantle to convect much the wayboiling water convects in a pan on the stove. Hot mantle at the core-mantle boundary rises while cool mantle sinks, causing convection cells to form.
In the Earth's mantle heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents?
, hot material rises towards the surface and cooler material sinks back down towards the Earth's core. This is called mantle convection and is driven by the heat generated from the Earth's core and the heat released from radioactive decay within the mantle. The motion of these convection currents is responsible for plate tectonics and the movement of continents over time.
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?
Convection

When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler part is an example of what?
A rising convection current.
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cooled down?
the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if Earths interior eventually cool down?
the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity
What caused the plates to move?
The intense heat in the Earth's core causes molten rock in Earth's mantle to shift. That causes a pattern called a convection cell which forms when material rises, cools, and sinks. When the material sinks, it is warmed and rises again.
