Simply put, the material that makes up Earth's mantle is opaque, so heat cannot pas through it by radiation.

Where do volcanos occur on Earths surface?

They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).


Why can't radiation occur in the mantle?

Radiation cannot occur in the Earth's mantle because the high density and pressure of the mantle material prevent electromagnetic radiation from propagating through it. Instead, heat transfer in the mantle occurs primarily through conduction and convection, with most of the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements within the mantle itself.

Why does radiation not occur in the mantle?

The mantle is composed of solid rock that does not undergo radioactive decay at a significant rate. The core of the Earth, rather than the mantle, is the primary source of the Earth's internal heat and radiation due to the decay of radioactive isotopes.
