Question

Please help ASAP! Explain the process of mantle convection including the role of the Earth’s core, Earth’s mantle, convection cell and density.

Answer 1

In the earths mantle the convection currents pass through the mantle which then causes friction in the tectonic plates causing earthquakes,volcanoes or tsunamis

Answer 2

Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into a number of tectonic plates that are continuously being created or consumed at plate boundaries.
