Would you expect the mantle to be hotter or cooler than the inner and outer cores?
I expect for the mantle to be cooler
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
Is the earths core cooler than the crust and mantle?
No, the core is hotter.
When the heated part of the Mantle rises through the cooler part its called?
I believe that is convection.
What drives the process of plate teconics?
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.

Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
Is the rock in the crust able to move around more easily than the rock in the lower mantle since the rock in the crust moves around differently than rock in the lower mantle?
The rock in the lower mantle moves around easily than the crust. This is because rock in the lower mantle is hotter and closer to its melting point. Rocks in the crust are cooler thus harder to move around.
Is the earths core cooler than the crust and mantle?
No, the core is hotter.
Which boundary separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the mantle?
The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovi?i? discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the planet's mantle.
Is rock in the crust able to move around more easily than the rock in the lower mantle?
No it's the other way round. Rock in the mantle is hotter, nearer to its melting point (though it's still solid) and so can move around quite easily. Rock in the crust is much cooler, like frozen ice and so it is much harder to move around.
How convection currents in the earth's mantle move?
They move because of the heat from the outer core and the mantle.
Cooler older oceanic lithosphere sink into the mantle at?
Subduction zones or trenches.
