Convection under the Earth's surface occurs due to the heat generated by the radioactive decay of elements in the Earth's interior. This heat causes hotter materials to rise and cooler materials to sink, creating a circular motion of material within the Earth's mantle. This convection helps drive the movement of tectonic plates and contributes to processes like seafloor spreading and subduction.
What else can I help you with?
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
What do you call the hot thick substance under the earths surface?
You're thinking of magma.
Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
Yes it is call a crust 😁
What do you call the point below the earths surface where the rock breaks under stress and tension?
fre
What happens at a hot spot?
That there are hot spots concisting of gas under the earths surface.
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving

What is an earthqauake?
the moving of the plates under the earths surface
What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
What are the ladder if rocks under the earth surface called?
There is no ladder if (of?) rocks under the earths surface, your question is meaningless.
What is the pocket of magma called under the earths surface?
An intrusion.
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
What is the name of the molten rock produced under earths surface?
Lava
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
Which natural process is caused by rocks moving under earths surface?
earthquakes
