Mantle Circulation

Mantle Circulation is a geophysical process denoting the large-scale movement of material within Earth's mantle driven by thermal convection, distinguished from other forms of mantle dynamics by its primary role in facilitating heat transfer and plate tectonic motion through viscous flow over geological timescales.
