Remember that the earth's mantle extends from a few tens of miles below the crust across several thousand miles to near the core. The mantle comprises about 85% of the volume of the earth. The core, you'll recall, is only a bit over 4,000 miles in diameter, and the diameter of the earth is a bit short of 13,000 miles. There's a lot of mantle, isn't there? The mantle is divided into two basic parts, the outer mantle and the mantle (inner mantle).
The temperature around the outer mantle is about 300 to 500 °Celsius. At the outer core where it bounds the mantle, the temperature is a bit short of 4500 °Celsius. That's a big temperature gradient.
You'll find links below to relevant articles, and you'll also find that the data presented varies a bit, as it should. No one has actually been very far "into" the earth, and, though we are a clever lot, we only have a limited way to "look into" the earth and see what's going on. Couple that with what we see looking around out here and you'll get some variation in what is thought to be inside. between 100 to1600 Celsius

Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?
you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
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.
