The theory also states that the lithosphere is broken into large slabs called PLATES
Plates carry the oceans and continents on top of them.

Heat from the core causes solid mantle rock
in the lower mantle to rise slowly toward the top
The rock eventually cools and sinks back
through the mantle
The rock eventually cools and sinks back
through the mantle

NEXT NEXT QUESTIONQUESTION
NEXT NEXT QUESTIONQUESTION
Convection currents transfer heat through fluids (both liquids and gases). They are found in the atmosphere as well as in pots whenever we cook (boil), and they occur in both the mantle and the core of the earth. Transfer of heat takes place when heated materials rise and the sinks when it is cooled. This causes convection cells to develop in the mantle.
