The convection currents responsible for moving tectonic plates occur in which earth layer?

Studentka2010 [4]

Convection currents occur in the MANTLE. The mantle is the second layer of the earth after the crust. The mantle is approximately 2900 km thick. Convection currents are triggered or fueled by the heat from the Earth's core.

The part of the mantle closest to the core gets heated. It then becomes less dense than the layers above so it rises. When this rising plume interacts with the crust it cools and becomes more dense than the layers below and so it sinks and this circular motion continues to form convection currents.

Why are central Africa’s natural resources underdeveloped

Anastaziya [24]

The second assumption is that there is something exceptional about Africa, that while other continents and peoples have got or are getting richer, Africans, for reasons we can think but no longer speak in polite company, choose to remain in poverty. Our capacity to see Africa as divergent lets us off the hook so we don’t have to understand our own complicity in the challenges various African countries face today. It also means we rarely rage as we should against the actions of the corporations and governments that profit from instability, corruption or even inexperience (African negotiators at the climate talks have historically been disadvantaged by their lack of experience and the expectation among western negotiators that they should be grateful with whatever they get).

If there is, then, no innate propensity for corruption, violence or poverty in Africa, then the narratives that fuel the stereotypes need questioning. One possible explanation comes from the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, who said: “The west seems to suffer deep anxieties about the precariousness of its civilisation and to have a need for constant reassurance by comparison with Africa.” Perhaps it’s not Africa that needs saving, but us.
