Natural water filters
30
Describe how convection transfers heat and materials in earths mantle
It causes material to rise and then sink to the mantel
31
What are the three types of boundaries between earths tectonic plants
Convergent Divergent Transform
32
What are convection currents in mantle responsible for reshooting earths surface
When plates seperate pass each other crash into each other
33
What causes earthquakes
Mantle convection
34
How are volcanoes formed
Subduction plates cause partial melting forming lawr the magma later rises forming volcanoes
35
How are ocean basins formed
When there are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

40
Tectonic plates make up earths
Lithosphere
41
Convection currents blank move tectonic plates across earth
Slowly
42
Convection work because of a fluids blank changes as it's temperature rises and falls
Density
43
What might be found along a divergent boundary
Volcanoes
44
What explains how convection currents work
As a fluids temperature increases it's density decreases
45
Which of the following is not a cause of earths internal heat
Heat leftover from earths transformation
46
Which of the following is likely to from volcanic mountains
