It is unlikely that the Earth's mantle — the layer beneath the crust and above the core — was completely homogeneous when it initially formed. Over time, cooling-induced convection as well as ...
The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents ... tectonic plates sink into the mantle at subduction zones.

mantle convection, and melting and melt migration in the Earth’s mantle, as well as to societally-relevant issues, such as the dynamic response of ice sheets to climate change, global geochemical ...
We study the ~4.5 billion year history of the terrestrial planets of our solar system, from the stellar synthesis of the elements of which they comprise through their accretion and re-organisation by ...
A beaker is heated and the coloured fluid inside shows convection currents This is because the particles in liquids and gases move faster when they are heated than they do when they are cold.
