Convection currents are the transfer of heat through the Earth's magma. They can be found in the mantle. The hottest part of the Earth is the core. the heat from the core is transferred into the lower mantle.
How is the Earth's crust related to tectonic movement? The convection currents in tectonic plates occur in the geosphere. The radioactive decay of elements is responsible for the heat deep within the earth, and this results in the creation of magma. Magma is a type of material that can be semi-fluid or completely fluid.
