You have the mechanism of heat transfer correct but the name for it incorrect!

The process where slow movements of mantle rocks transfer heat is known as convection.

Are slow movements of mantle rock called radiation heat transfer?

The movements of mantle rock is a classic example of thermal convection, though there will be some conductivity as well.


Do slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle?

Yes. It's true that slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle


Is conduction convection or radiation the way in which the mantle circulates?

The way the mantle circulates is through the process of convection. It refers to the transfer of heat from the Earth's core to the surface.


Heat from the solid mantle is released through a process called?

Radiation. For more details. contact at saqibahmad81@yahoo.comanswer 2 Initially, the heat from the mantle will be carried by conduction to the upper layers, and eventually lost to the surface by radiation. Volcanoes may play a small part.


Why can't radiation occur in the mantle?

Radiation cannot occur in the Earth's mantle because the high density and pressure of the mantle material prevent electromagnetic radiation from propagating through it. Instead, heat transfer in the mantle occurs primarily through conduction and convection, with most of the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements within the mantle itself.


What is the part of the mantle that can bend plastic?

Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?


What is the part of the mantle that bend like plastic?

Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?


Earths lower mantle lies just below the?

Earths lower mantle lies just below the upper mantle extending from 400 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. This region primarily consists of dense, solid rock materials that experience high pressures and temperatures. The lower mantle plays a significant role in the Earth's mantle convection, which drives tectonic plate movements and heat transfer within the Earth.


How radiation and convection is alike?

Conduction, Convection, and radiation are all ways that heat can be transferred between 2 objects. Conduction is transfer by direct contact like when you cook something on the stove. Convection occurs when heat is transferred by movement like in the Earth's mantle. Radiation occurs when waves are used to transfer heat like sunlight.


Drives the movements of the plates?

Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.


Why does radiation not occur in Earth's mantle?

The Earth's mantle is composed of solid rock that is not undergoing radioactive decay, which is the process that releases radiation. The radiation that is naturally emitted from the Earth mainly comes from the crust and the core, not the mantle. Additionally, the thickness and composition of the mantle act as a barrier that prevents most radiation from reaching the surface.


What is Circular movement of material inside Earth's mantle called?

The circular movement of material inside Earth's mantle is called mantle convection. This process involves the transfer of heat through the movement of molten rock in a circular pattern, driving the tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
