Fill in the Blanks Convection Currents Fill InOnline version Fill in the blank on convection currents by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Nuclear SolarRadiationFromTheSun MoreDensePlasticRock ConvectionCurrents EnergySource interior core falls heat cool MagneticField basalt Insulator LeftOverHeatFromEarthFormation LessDensePlasticRock The interior of the Earth is hot due to the fact that the core is and there is . The crust acts as an . This means that it helps block the from the core from reaching the surface . The crust is not a conductor or transmit heat from the core . The surface of the Earth is warm due to NOT from the radiocative . The core also produces a . This helps protect Earth from much of the radiation from the sun that is harmful . The mantle contains . These are circular items that work by transferring heat within Earth's . This occurs because hot , rises . As this plastic rock rises towards the surface it begins to as it moves farther from the nuclear core . As it cools it becomes until finally it toward the core again to begin the process again . The core is the for convection currents .
