Question

Convection currents occur in_________.

  1. Crust
  2. Mantle (Asthenosphere)
  3. Inner core
  4. Outer core

hintHint:

Mantle

The correct answer is: Mantle (Asthenosphere)


    • Convection currents occur in the Earth's mantle.
    • So, the correct option is b.

    • Heated mantle material rise from deep inside the mantle, while cooler mantle material sinks, creating a convection current.
    • This type of current is responsible for the movements of the plates of Earth's crust.
