Below the Earth's is the Earth's mantle.

The Earth's crust changes through plate tectonics, the constant process where subduction describes the Earth's crust moving down into the mantle and elsewhere upheaval brings material to the surface. The process is not really a simple cycle but part of the complex geological processes of an active planet.

What is the name of the process that causes mantle movement?

The process that causes mantle movement is called mantle convection. This occurs when heat from the Earth's core causes the mantle material to heat up and rise towards the surface, then cool and sink back down in a continuous cycle.


Which geochemical cycle involves mantle convection?

The geochemical cycle that involves mantle convection is the rock cycle. Mantle convection plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates, which influences the formation and destruction of rocks through processes like subduction and volcanic eruptions.


Does slow movements of mantle rock called radiation transfer heat in the mantle?

No, slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle. Convection occurs due to the heat generated by the radioactive decay of elements in the mantle causing molten rock to rise and cooler rock to sink in a continuous cycle.

What happen to the oldest rock on the ocean floor to continue the rock cycle?

Or they get subducted and re-enter the mantle or they get obducted onto continent (the latter being called an ophiolite).
