Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
Convection in the earth's mantle.
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.
Heat rising from within the Earth causes the Earth's tectonic plates to move. The constant rising and sinking of heat are called convection currents.

It is true that the combination of the movement of convection currents and the spinning of earth causes regional wind patterns.

The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
This happens in the earth's core.

Convection movements; currents in Earth's interior. Note that a significant part of Earth's interior is liquid.
The intense heat in the Earth's core causes molten rock in Earth's mantle to shift. That causes a pattern called a convection cell which forms when material rises, cools, and sinks. When the material sinks, it is warmed and rises again.
