How convection works in the mantle?

Explanation:

How convection works in the mantle?

The mantle is heated from below (the core), and in areas that are hotter it rises upwards (it is buoyant), whereas in areas that are cooler it sink down. This results in convection cells in the mantle, and produces horizontal motion of mantle material close to the Earth surface.

When the mantle convicts, heat is transferred through the mantle by physically moving hot rocks. Mantle convection is the result of heat transfer from the core to the base of the lower mantle.

Explanation:

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
