Convection currents happen in the mantle.
The correct answer is the mantle.
Convection currents occur in the mantle, which is a layer of hot, semi-fluid rock located between the Earth's crust and the core. The mantle is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates and is heated by the heat from the Earth's core. The heat causes the rock in the mantle to become less dense and rise towards the surface, while the cooler, denser rock sinks back down. This movement of hot and cold material creates convection currents within the mantle. These convection currents are one of the main driving forces behind plate tectonics and the movement of continents.
