The convection currents will eventaully stop because there is no heat to keep them moving.

When the heat source is removed form a fluid convention currents in the fluid will?
"Convention"? I think you mean "convection" currents, and they will die away quite rapidly as the fluid and its container cool.
What do convection currents in the asthenosphere cause?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
Is the sun the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle?
The heat in the Earth's interior comes from two main sources: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
What is the source of energy drives the movement of the lithosphere plates?
Asthenosphere
What is the cause of the currents that make plates move across the earth?
Radioactive decay of long-lived isotopes in the Earth's deep interior is the source of heat which causes convection currents in the magma which causes tectonic plates to move.

"Convention"? I think you mean "convection" currents, and they will die away quite rapidly as the fluid and its container cool.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.

What is the major source of energy for continental drift?
convection currents
Is the heat source for the convection current in the mantle in the sun?

Does the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle in the sun?
Bad grammar.
What is the major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmospheres and oceans?
Vertical convection in both the ocean and atmosphere is caused by uneven HEATing.The source of energy for convection in the ocean and atmosphere is heating from the sun.

Is the heat source for the convection currents the sun?
yes. because the sun brings heat
