They occur in the upper mantle and the convections come from the inner core but travel to the upper mantle.

In which earth layer does crustal plate movement occur because of convection cells?
in which earth layers does crusal plate movement occur because of convection cells
What layer of Earth can you find convection currents?
Convection currents occur in the mantle of the earth. They can affect the crust and the life above it, though.
Where do convection currents happen?
Convection currents occur in any fluid in which there is a temperature differance. Most convection currents occur in the mantle, the layer of semi-liquid rock below the crust. These currents are the reason behind plate tectonics.
Which layer of the earth has plasticity?
The basic answer is the Mantle, but, really, it's the only very uppermost part of the Mantle that encounters plasticity and convection--when relating to tectonic plate movement, at least. The Asthenosphere is the fluid layer on with plates move across the surface of the earth, being pulled apart (Diverging) or colliding together (Converging). The Asthenosphere is what drives convection and in a very similar way, subduction. Like the person above said, if your teacher/professor hasn't said the word Asthenosphere, then the answer he/she is looking for here is the Mantle, or Upper Mantle. I'd go with Upper Mantle to be safe.
In which layer of the sun is energy transferred between atoms?

To answer your question the answer is the Mantle.

In which layer of the sun does granulation occur?
A grainy cloud like substance that comes from the convection area under the photosphere.
Which layer of the earth does the convection necessary for plate motion occur?
upper mantle.
