What is happening at Point A?
Material is heated again by the core, lowering the density
Less dense material is heated and begins to rise
Rising material hits lithosphere and slides, moving plates with it
Material cools, becoming denser, then begins to fall due to gravity
What is happening at Point B?
Material is heated again by the core, lowering the density
Less dense material is heated and begins to rise
Rising material hits lithosphere and slides, moving plates with it
Material cools, becoming denser, then begins to fall due to gravity
What is happening at Point C?
Material is heated again by the core, lowering the density
Less dense material is heated and begins to rise
Rising material hits lithosphere and slides, moving plates with it
Material cools, becoming denser, then begins to fall due to gravity
What is happening at Point D?
Material is heated again by the core, lowering the density
Less dense material is heated and begins to rise
