When the heated part of the Mantle rises through the cooler part its called?
I believe that is convection.
In the Earth's mantle heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents?
, hot material rises towards the surface and cooler material sinks back down towards the Earth's core. This is called mantle convection and is driven by the heat generated from the Earth's core and the heat released from radioactive decay within the mantle. The motion of these convection currents is responsible for plate tectonics and the movement of continents over time.
Is it true that hotspots form where a plume of magma rises through the crust from mantle?
True
How does the temperature and density drive the convection currents in the mantle?
Temperature differences in the mantle drive convection currents because warm material is less dense and rises, while cooler material is more dense and sinks. This movement creates a circular flow as the cooler material sinks and gets heated, while the warmer material rises and cools down. The density variations caused by the temperature differences are a key driver of convection in the mantle.
When rock in the mantle cools does it sink or rise?
When rock in mantle cools, it sinks. When rock in mantle heats, it rises.
