Which type of crust is more dense?

• oceanic
• continental
• divergent
• pizza

How far do tectonic plates move each year?

• Meters per year

• Centimeters per year

• Kilometers per year

• Feet per year

What is the process of convection?

• The process of hot material rising and cooler material sinking in circular patterns

• The process of hot rock solidifying and forming new crust

• The process of explaining what goes up must come down

• Strong ocean currents moving tremendous amounts of material
