Do convection currents form in the mantle when heated materials become more dense?

Actually, heated materials are less dense. When heat is applied to a substance such as liquid, it becomes less dense. It is this less dense and heated material that rises because it weighs less. The part of the mantle that is more dense would be any substance that is cooling and is sinking down.

Shrinkage percentage of rubber when heated and cooled?
when rubber is moulded in die and kept for heat after few min the die is removed from heat... the ruber reduces its size compare to original size of die ... its called srinkage of rubber... this srinkage in rubber have different percentage of srinkage in different types of rubber....
What is the average heating bill?
http://www.energy.gov.on.ca/index.cfm?fuseaction=conservation.guide13 can give you some info. Also, according to USA today, natural gas users will pay over $1000 for a 5 month usage. That's a lot of people, considering that 55% of US homes are heated with Natural Gas. These prices are rising and electricity heating users will pay about $750. People who use heating oil to heat their residential properties will pay even more. On average, they will pay over $1400.
Does mantle material rise in convection currents because heated materials become more dense?
no
Can you use convection in a sentence?
It was heated by convection currents
What is the liquid in the pot is being heated by?
Convection currents from the stove or microwave.
How is air heated near the earths surfaces?
It's heated through the convection currents.
What is convection result of?
currents caused by the motion of heated molecules
Which diagram correctly indicates why convection currents form in water why water is heated?
which diagram correctly indicates why convection currents form in water when water is heated
If a pot is no longer heated when will the convection currents stop flowing?
the currents would stop as soon as the heated substace has cold completely.
How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
What occurs as result of convection currents?
currents caused by the motion of heated molecules
What happends to convection currents when the liquid or gas is no longer heated?
It falls back down
Is it true molten material in the asthenosphere rises in convection currents because heated materials become more dense?
Actually, hot, less dense material rises, and cold, denser material sinks. Denser material will be heavier (per unit volume) and gravity therefore pulls it down. Less dense material has buoyancy and rises. It's very logical.
What forms when heated air expands and cooler air sinks below the warmer air?
Convection currents
