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 are convection currents and where are they found?

Convection currents in the mantle are streams of fluid produced by the process of heat transfer from one place to another. The earth gets very hot as you go nearer to the core. The mantle is thus heated up as it is right next to the core. As a result, convection currents are formed.*Core: It is a spherical zone that lies at the center of the earth.*Mantle: It is the layer surrounding the outer core of the earth.


Is the convection layer the middle layer of the sun where nuclear fusion takes place?

The Sun's fusion takes place in the core. The Convective zone brings heat to the surface by thermal convection, which is basically hot plasma coming up to the surface, then cooling and sinking.
