Convention? You mean convection! The mantle is not solid but molten, although extremely viscous, and heated by radio-active decay. Since the only escape for the heat is conduction through the crust and in lava, the consequent temperature gradients create convection currents.

∙ 12y agothe heat in the core raises and heat raises to a cold spot. so the convection currents raises to the surface of the earth.

When does circular movement of the magna in mantle happen?
Convention cells in the molten outer core cause convection cells in the mantle.
The parts of convection current in the mantle are related to plate motions?
Waves is the part of convection current. This is the mantle and is related to plate motions.
Where is a mantle convection current most likely to move upward?
ocean ridge
How do plates move where convection currents are risig?
The lithosphere is the continental crust, oceanic crust and upper part of the mantle. The convection currents move in the mantle mostly in the Asthenosphere layer under the lithosphere. As the convention currents move it makes the lithosphere spread and shake.
What do you think will happen to the convection current in the mantle if the interior of earth eventually cools down?
the convection currents will stop

Which statement best explains how convection currents can occur in earths mantle?
Earth's rotation causes mantle convention. But you already knew that! :P
Where are 2 places in Earth that has convention currents?
The mantle and the ocean both have examples of convection currents.
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
Who did mickey mantle marry?
Merlyn Mantle in the 1950's.
Current in earths mantle that transfers heat in earths interior?
It's called the convection current.
What are oceans current are formed by what?
Moving plates in the earths mantle.
Does the heat source for the conviction current in the mantle is the sun?
this answer is true
What is the term for the circular of material inside earths mantle?
QuestionThe term for the circular movement of material inside earth's mantle is convection current. This current causes the movement of the tectonic plates.
