What Keeps The Mantle Hot. mantle convection is the result of heat transfer from the core to the base of the lower mantle. As with a pot of soup on a hot stove (figure 3.12), the material. there are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: mantle plumes are the likely cause of “hot spots,” volcanic regions not created by plate tectonics. (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; scientists know that the mantle is extremely hot because of the heat flowing outward from it and because of its physical properties. (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material. below 250 kilometers the temperature stays on the left side of the melting line; As a mantle plume reaches the upper. the interior of earth is very hot (the temperature of the core reaches more than 5,000 degrees celsius) for two main. starting from the top down, there’s the crust, which includes the surface you walk on;

Hotspots and Mantle plumes

What Keeps The Mantle Hot As a mantle plume reaches the upper. As with a pot of soup on a hot stove (figure 3.12), the material. scientists know that the mantle is extremely hot because of the heat flowing outward from it and because of its physical properties. the interior of earth is very hot (the temperature of the core reaches more than 5,000 degrees celsius) for two main. starting from the top down, there’s the crust, which includes the surface you walk on; mantle convection is the result of heat transfer from the core to the base of the lower mantle. below 250 kilometers the temperature stays on the left side of the melting line; (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; there are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: As a mantle plume reaches the upper. mantle plumes are the likely cause of “hot spots,” volcanic regions not created by plate tectonics.
