There is no reason to think that convection in the Earth's mantle is going to increase; indeed, I expect it to decrease over time. However, if it were to increase, the result would be an increasing number and severity of earthquakes, and faster continental drift.

When does circular movement of the magna in mantle happen?

Convention cells in the molten outer core cause convection cells in the mantle.


How does convectinal currents occur in the mantle?

Convective currents in the mantle are driven by heat from the Earth's core. As the core heats the mantle, hot magma rises upwards, cools near the surface, and then sinks back down due to its increased density. This continuous cycle of rising and sinking creates convection currents in the mantle.


What happen as thermal energy is transferred from the core to the mantle?

As thermal energy is transferred from the core to the mantle, it causes convection currents in the mantle. These currents are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates at the Earth's surface. This movement leads to processes such as seafloor spreading, subduction, and volcanic activity.


What would happen if Earth's convection currents in Earth's mantle slowed down.?

If the convection currents in the earth's mantle slowed down then the mantle would slow down. Eventually, the mantle would stop all movement.


What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cooled down?

the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity

What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the Earth's interior cools down?

If Earth's interior cools to a non liquid state, the convection currents will stop.


In which layer of earth do convection current occur?

in the mantle due to the molten rock... hope this helps!!! =] also for better detail they happen in the asthenospheric mantle to
