Best Answer

Convection currents in the mantle are streams of fluid produced by the process of heat transfer from one place to another. The earth gets very hot as you go nearer to the core. The mantle is thus heated up as it is right next to the core. As a result, convection currents are formed.

*Core: It is a spherical zone that lies at the center of the earth.

*Mantle: It is the layer surrounding the outer core of the earth.
