How is convection in the atmosphere similar to convection in the Earth's mantle? What is present in the mantle that can melt the crust that moves downward? Do convection currents occur in the inner core? Does the mantle undergo convection?
aCurrents in Earth’s mantle called convection currents transfer heat in Earth’s interior. It is thought that this transfer of heat energy moves plates. 潮流在地球的披风叫的对流调动热在地球的内部。 它被认为热能这调动移动板材。[translate]

Convection Currents and the Mantle OBJECTIVES: Explain how heat is transferred Identify what causes convection currents Radiation The transfer of energy through empty space Example
A system of simple principles concerning the kinematics of the convection currents in the Earth's mantle was postulated as the starting point. The mantle is supposed to become more and more homogeneous downward. Here it is essential, for the reason of symmetry, that the current system has a ...
With regard to the strain-stress relations valid in the mantle and the energy source of the convection the theory is without any presumptions. In compliance with recent hydrodynamic investigations the flow is introduced rather as roll currents than as a hexagonal cell pattern. From the feasible ...
