Explanation:

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.

natka813 [3]

Such a practice is known as shifting cultivation or slash-and-burn. This was used by tribal people and American Indians for farming. They clear the land, grow crops for a few years, and move away when the land is fallow, allowing the land to regain nutrients and the forest to grow back. They generally return to the land in 10 to 12 years.
