    Mantle Convection

    Uploaded by

    Al Llorin
    Mantle convection describes the movement of material in Earth's mantle as it transfers heat from the core to the lithosphere. The mantle is heated from below and cooled from above, creating convection currents as denser cool material sinks and less dense warm material rises, circulating heat over long periods of time. This movement transfers heat through the mantle and to the overlying brittle lithosphere.

    MANTLE CONVECTION

    SUBMITED BY CARMELLE THERESE GABASA 10 ANTHURIUM


    SUBMITED TO MR.WIL WHAT IS COVECTION CURRENT
    WHAT IS COVECTION CURRENT
    Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter (less dense), warm material
    rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation
    patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.
