Select all of the TRUE statements about convection.

• Warmer fluids are less dense.

• Colder fluids rise while warmer fluids sink.

• Rock in the mantle moves due to convection currents.

• Convection is how heat transfers in fluids.

Which of the following explains how convection happens in the mantle?

• The mantle is cooler than the crust, so heat transfers in a convection current towards the mantle.

• The mantle is hotter than the crust, so heat transfers in a convection current towards the crust.

• The mantle and the crust are the same temperature, but the mantle is denser.

• Convection does not happen in the mantle.
