Solar energy
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
The Earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated by electric currents in the conductive material of its core, created by convection currents due to heat escaping from the core.
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
what causes changes to earths landform
It is because of the convection currents that occurs in the mantle. The heat in the mantle circulates (we know that hot air goes up and cold air goes down) so the plates in the Earth moves. The convection currents are caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle. The heat causes the land to rise while cooling results the land to sink.
convection
Warm air rising and cold air sinking in combination with the rotation of the Earth cause the various currents in the atmosphere.
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.
The atmosphere, the oceans, and the mantle are three of Earth's spheres where energy is transferred by convection. In the atmosphere, warm air rises and cold air sinks, creating convection currents. In the oceans, warmer water near the surface moves towards the poles while cooler water at depth moves towards the equator due to differences in temperature and density. In the mantle, heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents that drive plate tectonics.

convection
Lighter, warm material rises while more heavier, cool material sinks. It is the movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in underneath.
