Which of the following reasons is why tectonic plates move?

• The mantle has convection currents and the crust float and moves with these currents.

• The gravitational pull of the moon pulls differently on the different thicknesses of the plates.

• The inner core is spinning and moves the tectonic plates.

• The daily move of people, car, buses, trains, and ships create tectonic plate movement

Which of the follow is the best reason why the warm water rises and the cool water sinks in a convection current?

• The cool water is less dense than the warm water because the particles are moving faster.

• The cool water has faster moving particles which cause less space between the particles.

• The warm water had particles moving at a faster speed which causes more space between the particles, making it less dense.

• The warm water particles are moving slower which decreases the space between the particles making it more dense.
