Convection currents in the mantle are caused by heat from the Earth's core. As the core heats up the lower mantle, the material becomes less dense and rises towards the surface. Once the material at the surface cools, it becomes denser and sinks back down, creating a continuous cycle of movement known as convection currents.
What else can I help you with?
What causes causes the convection cell to turn up?
It is bumping into the lihosphere
What causes both earthquakes and volcanoes?
Convection currents.
What is deadly convection?
Deadly convection is a misnomer. Deadly convection is not deadly but it's an air convection. Deadly convection actually means an unseasonable air convection that causes relative humidity to drop rapidly, especially just after a terribly heavy rain, there's a huge wildfire.
What causes the convection cells to turn up at point a?
ice cream
What causes trade winds?
Convection cycles and the coriolis effect i think.
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
Where does the convection that causes earths magnetic field?
The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.
What causes causes the convection cell to turn up?

What causes convection in the ocean?
warm air
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
Why does convection occurs in the athenosphere?
heat from the outer core and the mantle when it drifts up to the asthenosphere it causes convection.
What is a process that causes liquid rock to move?
