It is a fact im studying it and I know know this is a fact.
It's mantle with less, then mantle with more as you go deeper into earth.
Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
The convection currents are in the mantle😱
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
Waves is the part of convection current. This is the mantle and is related to plate motions.
mantle or upper mantle
Arthur Holmes theory was that the mantle under goes thermal convection.
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.

Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Convection currents rese and sink through the mantle and the liquid outer core. In Earth's mantle, large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents. Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle.
The plate tectonic theory states that new Earth crust is being formed while old crust descends back into the mantle. Uneven heating in the mantle causes convection which keeps the crust in motion. The constant movement of Earth's plates are the result of the three types of boundaries, divergent, convergent, and transform, and the convection in the mantle.
Heating from the Earth's core drives convection in the upper mantle. This convection is extremely slow; the speed with which material in the Earth's crust spreads from the mid-ocean ridges is of the order of several cm per year. Nevertheless, it is evident that the same forces which drive convection in the atmosphere and in the ocean are present in the "solid" earth as well. Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface.

The theory of plate tectonics describes how plates move. The main driving force is convection currents in the mantle.
