| This schematic cross-section of the Earth illustrates the fundamental mechanisms of plate tectonics and convection currents in the mantle. The block section shows different layers (crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, core) with progressive colors. Blue and orange arrows, representing the upward and downward movements of hot and cold material, highlight the circulation and mixing of the mantle. This phenomenon is the main driver of lithospheric plate movement, leading to mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcanism. |
