Heated from the bottom, the warmer substance will slowly rise to the top while the cooler substance at the top falls to the bottom to be heated again. Look at a lava lamp. That is all about convection currents.

How do plates move where convection currents are risig?

The lithosphere is the continental crust, oceanic crust and upper part of the mantle. The convection currents move in the mantle mostly in the Asthenosphere layer under the lithosphere. As the convention currents move it makes the lithosphere spread and shake.

When convention current flows in the mantle what does it also move?

When convection currents flow in the mantle, they also move the tectonic plates located on the Earth's surface. These currents are driven by the heat from the Earth's core, causing the mantle material to rise and fall, which in turn creates movement in the lithosphere. This process is fundamental to plate tectonics and contributes to geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.

What cause convention currents in mantle?

the heat in the core raises and heat raises to a cold spot. so the convection currents raises to the surface of the earth.
