Question 1

Question
What happens when we warm up water in a pot?
Answer
  • More kinetic energy- less volume- less density- molecules rise up
  • More kinetic energy- more volume- less density- molecules rise up
  • More kinetic energy- less volume- more density- molecules rise up

Question 2

Question
What happens when water reaches the top of the pot?
Answer
  • Molecules cools down- more kinetic energy- less volume- more dense- falls down
  • Molecules cools down- less kinetic energy- less volume- less dense- falls down
  • Molecules cools down- less kinetic energy- less volume- more dense- falls down

Question 3

Question
What are the characteristics of the mantle that permit it to produce convection currents?
Answer
  • It is hot and elastic
  • It is a kind of mushy, spongy state
  • It is not quite liquid, but not quite solid state, kind of plastic

Question 4

Question
The part of the mantle where convection currents occur is the astenosphere
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
What if the mantle solidified?
Answer
  • No convection currents, no plate movement
  • No convection currents, no earthquakes
  • No convection currents, no volcanism
