Not within the surface rocks, but at surface level yes. Air and water both convect.

How do you think the convection cell might affect the earths crust?
The way the convection cell might affect the crust above it is that it can cause the earths surface to turn into a volcano. If there is already a volcano there then it will erupt,
How does the earths crust move?
It gets a free ride on the moving surface of a mantle convection current.
Convection currents in Earths mantle are believed to be responsible for?
Earth's Plates
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction

What describes the circular motion of heat below the earths surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
Is the moon surface becoming hot an example of convection?
yes
What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
highlight factors which show that heat from the sun does reach th earth surface by convection
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
Does heat from the earths interior reaches earth through conduction?
Heat from the earth's interior reaches the surface through a combination of convection and conduction.
