"Convention"? I think you mean "convection" currents, and they will die away quite rapidly as the fluid and its container cool.

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.
How of these combines with changes in a fluid's density and the force of gravity to set convection currents in motion?
heating and cooling of a fluid
Heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid by a process called what?
convection
True or false Convection currents form because of differences of temp and density in a fluid?
True
Where do convection currents happen?
Convection currents occur in any fluid in which there is a temperature differance. Most convection currents occur in the mantle, the layer of semi-liquid rock below the crust. These currents are the reason behind plate tectonics.
What are the covention currents?
convention current is heats by the mass movement of heat particles into an area of cooler fluid.
When the heat source is removed from a fluid convection occurring in the fluid will do what?
Eventually stop
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
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.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
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.
Is the heat source for the convection current in the mantle in the sun?

What happens to covection currents when a fluid reaches a constant temperature?
As the fluid warms:The currents speed upThen as the temperatures of the fluid equalise (the fluid becomes one temp) the currents slow downWhen the fluid is one temperature the currents stop
What currents are they when are transferred within the mantle and fluid?
Convection currents.
What happens to convection currents when the liquid or gas is no longer heat?
Nothing actually happens to convection currents when heat is no longer supplied. The currents are produced by applying heat, most often to the bottom. The warmed fluid is 'lighter' than the cold fluid surrounding so it rises to allow colder fluid to replace it and be heated. As soon as the heat is removed, all the fluid rapidly comes to a single temperature and convevtion does not happen! An opposite effect happens when cold air sits on the surface of a lake. In this case the water at the surface cools, gets 'heavier' and sinks. In this case the convection currents operates downwards.

Heat transferred by warm currents within a fluid is called what?
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by "warm currents". The hotter fluid will rise, pushing the cooler fluid down, which then in turn gets heated, creating a continuous cycle.
What are moving currents of fluid that transfer heat?
Convection
Heat transfer by movement of currents in the fluid?
true
