<u>Answer: </u>

Earth convection occurs at the mantle layer

<u>Explanation: </u>

The movement of less dense material  above the more dense material  is called as convection.  The mantle is the layer that lies between the core and the crust of the earth. The mantle is composed of rocks containing silicon, magnesium, oxygen,  aluminium, iron and other minerals.

The heat energy of the core is transmitted  to the rock in the lower mantle.  This makes the rock with less temperature that lies  in  upper mantle to move down slowly.  Now the rocks that are pushed up  is eventually cooled and again pushed down by the hotter rock  from the lower mantle. This is called as convection in earth’s mantle .

Is it using energy when someone stands against a locker that doesn’t move
soldi70 [24.7K]

When someone stands against a locker and is does not moving at all, then there will be no displacement and since displacement = 0

Work done also becomes equal to zero.

Work done is usually defined as change in energy. Since the work done is zero there has been no energy used.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other. ... As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense
