Is the sun the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle?
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.
What is a mantle in the earth?
The Earths mantle is the viscous layer between the core and the crust. It is hot because of heat from the core, and part-liquid because it is composed of material with a moderate melting point. This mantle is the source of the volcanic material. Silica is a major component.
How does heat in the Earth's mantle relate to hotspots and geysers?
Hotspots and geysers transfer heat from the Earth's mantle to the Earth's surface.
What is the Solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure?
The mantle is the solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure
Which layer of the earth is the place where convection occurs?
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.
What is the the heat source of the mantle?
radioactivity
Source of heat for the mantle?
radio activity?
What is the source of heating in the mantle?

What is a 13 letter word for the source of heat in the mantle?
radioactivity
Does the heat source for the conviction current in the mantle is the sun?
this answer is true
Does the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle in the sun?
Bad grammar.
What is a energy source for hydrothermal vent?
The heat from deep in the earth's mantle.
What is the main source of the earths interior heat?
the mantle plume There are two source of heat in the earth's interior. The main two sources are fire and breathing heat.
What is the main source of heat in Earth's interior?
the mantle plume There are two source of heat in the earth's interior. The main two sources are fire and breathing heat.
Is this truth or false the heat source for the convection currnets in the mantle is the sun?
False.
Is the mantle heated mainly by the heat conducted from the core?
No, the main heat source for the mantle (as well as the core) is radioactive decay of elements like uranium within the mantle itself (or core, respectively). Heat rising from the core into the already hot mantle does set up the differential heat profile that drives much of the mantle convection, but even without the additional core heat the mantle would convect (but slower) so that its heat would rise to the crust.
