The heat in the Earth's interior comes from two main sources: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
FALSE; how can the heat source of the convection currents in the EARTH'S mantle be coming from the sun? The heat source is would BE the mantle.
Not completely sure but I think it's false since the deeper you go into Earth, the hotter it gets. The core is probably its source of heat.
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
No, the heat source for convection currents in the earth's mantle is the earth's core
False
yes
Convection currents rese and sink through the mantle and the liquid outer core. In Earth's mantle, large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents. Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle.
The effects of convection currents in the mantle are an overall movement of magma, the shifting of plates, and the even distribution of heat. This helps to reduce the amount of earthquakes and volcano eruptions.
The convection currents will eventaully stop because there is no heat to keep them moving.
Convection currents are transferring heat to the surface through the movement of mantle rock. If the interior of the planet cools, the mantle rock would be too solid to move, and there would be no heat to transfer.
Some is fossil heat, some from radioactivity.

Bad grammar.
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
No. It's radioactive decay within the planet.

the heat makes it rise up

Heat differentials.
