radiant heat
When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually slow down and dissipate as the fluid cools. The fluid will then return to a more quiescent state with less movement and mixing.
Convection currents in the mantle are caused by the heat generated from the decay of radioactive isotopes in the Earth's interior. This heat causes the mantle material to become less dense and rise, then cool and become more dense, leading to a continuous cycle of heat transfer and movement in the mantle.
The ocean has a higher heat capacity and is denser than the atmosphere, which means it can absorb and release heat more slowly. Additionally, the ocean's currents help distribute heat more evenly across the globe, leading to slower changes in temperature compared to the atmosphere.
The liquid or gas which transfers the heat can circulate round and round between the hot and cold regions. The flow of liquid or gas is called a convection current. Convection currents are caused by changes in density.
The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature changes. Additionally, the movement of water in the ocean, such as currents and mixing, distributes heat more evenly throughout the ocean, causing it to heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere.
Convection currents are the movements of water molecules that transfer heat within the water. This process helps distribute heat throughout the water, creating a more uniform temperature.
the form of energy would be heat. convection currents are caused by uneven heating of air or fluid. The warmer fluid is more boyant than the cooler fluid, so it floats to the top, and creates a "convection current"
Convection currents are responsible for the movement of heat (and mass) within a fluid system. Heat wants to go from where it is to where it isn't. When atoms and or molecules of a fluid (a gas or liquid, for example) are hotter then their companion particles, they are less dense and rise in the fluid. Cooler, more dense groups of atoms or molecules take their place. Convection currents are thus set up, and heat travels "around" the system via those currents. A link to the Wikipedia article on convection is provided.

In the asthenosphere, heat transfer primarily occurs through convection. The movement of semi-fluid rock allows heat to be transferred from the Earth's interior towards the surface, driving plate tectonics and volcanic activity in the process. This convection helps maintain the heat balance within the Earth's interior.
There way more than that.

It relys on it because convection are the air currents that have to be heated by something, so you need objects to radiate heat to heat up the air to start the current

If the mantle of the earth interior were to cool down the convection currents and plate tectonics would stop. That would mean that there would be no more earthquakes or volcanoes.
