Review Earth's Layers, Tectonic Plates, Moon Phases and Solar System

What is the cause of lithospheric plates moving?

• Heat from the mantle sinking to the core and breaking the plates

• The cooling of the crust material and the sinking of heated material

• Heat from the core rising in the mantle causing the rising and sinking of the material

• The movement of material sinking from the crust to the mantle

Which layer is mainly liquid and responsible for the earth's magnetic field?

• A

• B

What are convection currents?

• The sinking of heated material and the rising of cooler material in the mantle due to the heat from the core

• The rising of warm material and sinking of cooler material in the mantle due to heat from the core

• Th rising of warm material from the crust and the sinking of cooler material from the core

• The sinking of material from the crust due to the heat from the sun
