What causes the seasons?

The sun’s changing energy output each year
Earth’s tilt relative to its orbit around the sun
Changes in the path of Earth’s orbit around the sun
Which best describes Earth’s mantle?
It is made up of rock so hot that it flows.
Because it is solid rock, it cannot flow.
It is made up of metal so hot that it flows.

How does plate movement create mountains?
The pressure created by moving plates forces magma up through Earth’s crust, forming
mountains.
When two plates push against each other, the pressure makes the crust bend to form
mountains.
When plates slide against each other at faults, the pressure forms mountains.
When plates move away from each other, the pressure creates mountains.
How does erosion shape mountains?
It creates pressures in Earth’s crust that cause it to bend.
It removes material from mountains, changing their shapes.
By breaking down material on Earth’s surface, it changes mountains’ shapes.
The friction between plates of Earth’s crust pushes up mountains.
