Earth's mantle plays a major role in the evolution of the crust and gives the thermal and mechanical driving forces for plate tectonics. The transfer of heat and material in the mantle helps determine the landscape of Earth. This process in the mantle drives plate tectonics, which lead to volcanoes, earthquakes.
