The Model of Convection
He believed that the mantle was smooth and capable of convection currents pushing from below the lithospheric plates, which float. The hot and less dense material of the lower mantle would rise to the surface areas of the lithosphere, and as the material cooled, it would sink back down to the mantle zone where it would heat up again. The areas where convection currents rise would coincide with the ridges, and the areas where they decrease would coincide with subduction zones.
