Convection & the Mantle 1.7

____________ occurs when heat is transferred into an object through motion or movement; an example would be boiling water.

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

The mantle in the Earth continually heats up and cools down using convection currents.

• True
• False

____________ occurs when an energy source transfers heat directly to another object through space; an example would be an object becoming warm by sitting in the sunshine.

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• heat

____________ occurs when heat is transferred to an object through direct contact with particles; an example would be the heat from a stove transferring to your hand through the handle on a pot or pan.

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• heat

The transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluid is called conduction.

• True
• False

Mantle material rises in convection currents because heated materials become more dense.

• True
• False

The heat from the Sun reaches Earth through convection.

• True
• False

Convection currents in the Earth’s crust cause volcanoes.

• True
• False

Convection currents affect the movement of plates on the Earth's crust.

• True
• False

Convection currents produce the heat in the Earth’s interior.

• True
• False
