mantle convection
mantle convection The transfer of heat by movement of material within the
mantle. Material derived from within the
mantle is added to the
lithosphere at
constructive margins and cool lithosphere descends at
subduction zones, thus some return flow of material must take place at depth. The return flow may involve only material at shallow depth below the lithosphere, or material through the whole mantle, or possibly two or more layers of convection cells transferring heat between the layers by conduction.
Hot spots may overlie isolated
plumes of material rising from the
core—mantle interface.
