The correct order of the parts of the Earth's interior from deepest to surface is:

A. core→mantle→crust
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct answer is:

A. thermal gradient and changes in density

A thermal gradient causes differences in temperature within the fluid, which leads to changes in density. These density differences drive the movement of fluid, setting up convection cells.

The correct answer is:

B. coastline fits between different continents, similar rocks and fossils on different continents.

Alfred Wegener presented several pieces of evidence to support his theory of continental drift, including the fitting shapes of coastlines, the distribution of similar rock formations across different continents, and the presence of similar fossils in regions that are now separated by vast oceans.

The statement is **A. true**.

The movement of tectonic plates can influence and contribute to the processes of mantle convection in the upper mantle. The interaction of these plates can affect heat transfer and the flow of material in the mantle.
