2. continental crust
the theory that the lithosphere is broken into pieces that float on the asthenosphere
3. convection
the part of Earth's crust located beneath the oceans and seas
4. lithosphere
the outer layer of the mantle; made up of plastic or semi-molten rock
5. oceanic crust
Earth's crust and rigid portion of uppermost mantle
6. plate tectonics
process of heat transfer by the circulation or movement of a gas, liquid, or plastic material

Answer 1

Here is the corrected matching of terms and definitions based on your initial list:

1. asthenosphere

   • the outer layer of the mantle; made up of plastic or semi-molten rock

2. continental crust

   • the part of Earth's crust that forms landmasses

3. convection

   • process of heat transfer by the circulation or movement of a gas, liquid, or plastic material

4. lithosphere

   • Earth's crust and rigid portion of uppermost mantle

5. oceanic crust

   • the part of Earth's crust located beneath the oceans and seas

6. plate tectonics

   • the theory that the lithosphere is broken into pieces that float on the asthenosphere

This arrangement accurately defines each geological term.
