How does heat move?

• from a warmer to a cooler object
• from a cooler to a warmer object
• toward a hot object
• away from a cold object

How is energy from the sun transferred?

• by radiation
• by conduction
• by convection
• by the force of gravity

Heat from which of these causes convection currents inside Earth?

• crust
• crust and mantle
• mantle
• core

Which of these combines with changes in a fluid’s density and the force of gravity to set convection currents in motion?

• evaporation of a fluid
• condensation of a fluid
• freezing and melting of a solid
• heating and cooling of a fluid

• False

Wegener used evidence from land features, fossils, and climate to support his theory of continental drift.

• True
• False

Which features form the longest mountain ranges on Earth?

• the mid-ocean ridges
• the deep-ocean trenches
• the Rockies

Plates slide past each other at convergent boundaries.

• True
• False

Particles of hot soup rise slowly in a pot simmering on a stove. As the hot soup nears the surface, it begins to cool. The cooler soup sinks, forming a constant movement of soup that moves energy toward the surface of the pot. This constant movement of the soup in the pot is called a(n)

• magnetic field.
• energy system.
• convection current.
• conduction loop.

A cool fluid is less dense than a warm fluid.

• True
• False
