Do you mean under the Earth's crust or above it?
If you mean under it:
The heat under the Earth's crust rises and falls as it heats and cools.
Above the crust, the sun heats the earth, heat rises, cools, falls back down.
Hope that helps.

How do you think the convection cell might affect the earths crust?
The way the convection cell might affect the crust above it is that it can cause the earths surface to turn into a volcano. If there is already a volcano there then it will erupt,
How does the earths crust move?
It gets a free ride on the moving surface of a mantle convection current.
If convection in the mantle increased how would the earths crust be affected?
there would be more earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions
Where is each type of igneous rock formed?
The Extrusive igneous rock is formed on the earths surface while the Intrusive igneous rock is formed within or inside the earths crust.
How convection currents in the earth's mantle move?
They move because of the heat from the outer core and the mantle.

What is formed through the uplift under the earths crust?
crust
What pulls the earths crust?
The earths crust is moved rather than pulled by things called convection currents. This is when heated rock from the earths core rises up and reaches the crust where it cools. It then sinks down again and carries on in a circle which moves the crust
Which of earths layers is formed by volcanic activity?
Crust
What twists tears or pushes part of the earths crust past another?
convection currentsShear
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.
What is formed when plates within the earths crust bend and crack Earth's crust?
Faults
How does the earths crust move?
It gets a free ride on the moving surface of a mantle convection current.
Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
This heat transfer happens by convection.
Which of these is formed when plates of earths crust bend and crack?
a fault
How was the mount Blanc formed?
mountains are formed through the movement of tectonic plates which form the earths crust, with the force from convection currents. as two plates move towards eachother, where they meet can be pushed up to form mountain ranges etc.
