The earth’s crust is broken into plates. These plates are continuously moving because of movement below in the mantle. As the mantle is heated from the core, it rises to the surface. As the heated mantle gets farther away from the core, it cools. After it cools it eventually starts to descend back into the earth, bringing it close to the core again. This process is pictured below.

What type of heat transfer is occurring in the mantle?

• convection

• conduction

• radiation

• specific
