Sounds like a homework problem and it doesn't make a while lot of sense...

Its a term used by Dr. Tony Phillips in http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/10may_longrange.htm . Since his articles are typically public domain, they tend to get on lots of websites. I think he uses the phrase to mean convection zone. See e.g. http://www.cora.nwra.com/~werne/eos/text/convection_zone.html

Same way weather works in the air and techtonic plates work in the crust.

Hot stuff rises and spreads, cool stuff sinks (or subducts).
