Convection currents are part of the water cycle. The sun heats up the ground and causes moisture from the ground to evaporate. The moisture rises and condenses to form clouds which can become very large in size. The clouds become very dense and precipitation takes place e.g. rain. The cycle can then take place again. This occurs mainly in very hot countries.
Both convection currents in the ocean and atmosphere are driven by temperature differences. In the ocean, warm water rises and cold water sinks, creating circular currents. Similarly, in the atmosphere, warm air rises and cool air sinks, generating vertical movement of air masses. Both types of convection currents play a crucial role in redistributing heat around the Earth.

Convection currents move in the Mantle.
'Convection' currents do several things, most notably by creating wind. These currents also move clouds, providing rain, as well as other atmospheric features.
Convection currents move in upward direction
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?

Convection currents can vary in thickness, typically ranging from a few centimeters to kilometers depending on the scale of the system in which they occur. In the Earth's mantle, for example, convection currents can be tens to hundreds of kilometers thick.
