Radiation be any of a number of different energy sources: light, heat or nuclear sources.
- There is no light in the mantle as it is not made of transparent or translucent rock
- There is heat in the mental as the heat from the core is escaping to the surface of the earth
- There is nuclear radiation as radioactive elements are breaking down with time.

In what layer does plasticity and convection occur?
They occur in the upper mantle and the convections come from the inner core but travel to the upper mantle.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Which statement best explains how convection currents can occur in earths mantle?
Earth's rotation causes mantle convention. But you already knew that! :P
How does convection current occur in the mantle?
radioactive decay takes place, which produces lot of heat and causes the mantle to flow in convection currents veena
What region with shortwave and longwave solar radiation?
Shortwave radiation occurs from the sun which is known as K*. Longwave radiation is known as L* and can occur from clouds etc.
Why does radiation not occur in Earth's mantle?
Simply put, the material that makes up Earth's mantle is opaque, so heat cannot pas through it by radiation.
Why does radiation not occur in the mantle?
Because the mantle rock is opaque, most radiation (except for radioactivity from decay of uranium and other radioisotopes) cannot pass through it. Radiation from radioisotopes (e.g. x-rays, gamma rays, beta rays) occurs in earth's mantle and can go significant distances before being absorbed by the rock, helping to keep the mantle hot.
In what layer does plasticity and convection occur?
They occur in the upper mantle and the convections come from the inner core but travel to the upper mantle.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Where does the Mohorovicic discontinuity occur?
Crust and Mantle.
In which layer of earth does convection occur?
mantle
Where does radiation occur in a car?
No where.
Does radiation happen in solids liquids or gases?
Radiation can occur in a vacumn.
The mohorovicic discontinuity occur between the crust and the?
mantle
Where in the structure of the earth do convection currents occur?
The mantle.
What is the layer of the earth where volcanoes occur?
crust and mantle
How does heat loss occur?
It can occur through conduction, convection and radiation.
