Mrs. Holtom explained how the mantle's convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates, affecting the lithosphere. Can you describe this process?

• They cause the lithosphere to expand.

• They create earthquakes in the lithosphere.

• They drive the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

• They cool down the lithosphere.

Imagine you’re a skibidi toilet engineer trying to understand the role of the dense metallic core in the Earth’s structure. How does this sigma core contribute to the planet’s Ohio rizz?

• Mrs. Smith says it’s giving float, giving buoyancy to the crust.

• Mrs. Davis believes it’s the Chad Alpha that holds up the mantle

• Mr. Crews says the core is BFFs with the Earth’s gravitational pull.

• Mrs. Long thinks is very demure, very mild, very quiet with no role.
