- Q1Scientist completely agree that convection is the occurring in the mantle is the driving force for plate movementFalseTrue30s
- Q2During convection cold, dense material rises to the surface while lighter warmer material sinks and this creates convective flowFalseTrue30s
- Q3The slow movements of the plates and mantle are driven by the unequal distribution of Earth's heat.FalseTrue30s
- Q4The heat that generates the convective currents is created by the SunTrueFalse30s
- Q5Slab- pull is when oceanic crust subducts and sinks in to the asthenosphere pulling the trailing lithosphere alongTrueFalse30s
- Q6Scientist have a complete understanding of how the plates move and are in total agreement of how this process works.TrueFalse30s
- Q7The driving force that moves the plates comes from the heat generated by the radioactive decay of the Earth's interiorTrueFalse30s
