The Earth's mantle has convection currents because the heat of the core acts similarly to the light bulb in our lava lamp. The core's heat energy is transferred to the mantle, causing it to rise towards the Earth's surface, which is cooler.

Convection currents occur in the mantle, which is the middle layer of the Earth. The heat generated from the core causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in a circular pattern, creating convection currents.
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 process that causes mantle movement is called mantle convection. This occurs when heat from the Earth's core causes the mantle material to heat up and rise towards the surface, then cool and sink back down in a continuous cycle.

Heat differentials.
As thermal energy is transferred from the core to the mantle, it causes convection currents in the mantle. These currents are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates at the Earth's surface. This movement leads to processes such as seafloor spreading, subduction, and volcanic activity.

Convection movements; currents in Earth's interior. Note that a significant part of Earth's interior is liquid.
Convection currents in the mantle are mainly caused by the heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements within the Earth's interior. This heat creates temperature differences in the mantle, causing warmer, less dense rock to rise and cooler, denser rock to sink, driving the movement of mantle material in a continuous cycle.
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
