Convection cycles move in the mantle. How does this affect the crust?

• crust has no motion

• crust moves in random direction

• crust moves in same direction convection cycle moves

If magma increases in temperature (get hot) what will happen?

• It moves down (sinks)

• It moves up (rises)

If magma decreases in temperature (cooler) what will happen to the magma?

• It will move down (sink)

• It will rise up (float)

Why does hot mantle rise (go/move up)?

• hot = less dense

• hot = no change

• hot = more dense
