Answers
1
Why do convection currents move in the mantle?
The sun heats the crust which heats the mantle
The friction at moving boundaries creates heat and starts the current
Glaciers cause the crust to cool and sink into the mantle
The heat from the core rises and creates a current in the asthenosphere
2
Which plate is going to sink during subduction?
Both
Continental
Oceanic
Neither
3
Which statement is False about Pangea?
Its also called the supercontinent
Its name means "all lands"
the landmasses were named the same as the 7 continents today
Convection currents cause it to break apart
4

7
What are the major Earth Science Theories we studied?
