When the heated part of the Mantle rises through the cooler part its called?
I believe that is convection.
What process occurs in the hot pliable mantle rock beneath the earths plates?
Convection. The same as the shimmering above a hot road in summer, heated material is less dense and rises over cooler material.convection currents
When the mantle is heated the magma rises because?
When it is heated it becomes less dense (i.e. lighter). The more dense (i.e. heavier) magma sinks while the less dense magma rises to the top. It will eventually cool again causing a convection current within the mantle.
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.
Is it true that hotspots form where a plume of magma rises through the crust from mantle?
True

A circular movements when heated fluids rises and is replaced by a cooler fluid is called?
Convection
Do convection currents form in the mantle when heated materials become more dense?
Yes, convection currents form in the mantle due to the heating and cooling of material, which causes density differences and drives the movement of material. When material in the mantle is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser material sinks, creating a circulation pattern known as mantle convection.
