ConductionFigure A shows a convection cell, warm material rises (up to the surface of the earth)and cool material sinks. These cooled materials will eventually turn to landformation. In mantle convection, the heat source is the core. The core of the earth isvery hot. It is nearly as hot as the surface of the sun - about 6000'C. Convectioncurrent is relevant to the movement of tectonic plate because the heat builds uppressure underneath the crust (tectonic plates). As they become unstable, they pushagainst each other (subduction) and rise upwards or one goes under the other.Pigure B shows the process of conduction on how air molecules come in contact withthe warmer surface of the land or ocean, resulting to the increase of its thermalenergy through conduction. The thermal energy of the core is transferred to thesurface of the earth and the lower levels of ocean by conduction.co_Q1_ELS SModu9.2021.10.26 23:33
