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.
Convention cells in the molten outer core cause convection cells in the mantle.
in the mantle due to the molten rock... hope this helps!!! =] also for better detail they happen in the asthenospheric mantle to
The mantle layer with more convection is the upper mantle, which has a higher temperature and undergoes vigorous convection currents. In contrast, the lower mantle has less convection due to its higher pressure and lower temperature, leading to slower convective movement.
If the interior of the Earth cools down, the convection currents in the mantle will gradually slow down and eventually stop. This will result in decreased heat transfer and mantle movement, potentially leading to a decrease in tectonic plate movement and volcanic activity over time.
Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.

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

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