Question

True or false the rock cycle is directly related to the convection current

Answer 1

True. The rock cycle and convection currents are related in that convection currents in the Earth's mantle drive the movement of tectonic plates, which in turn influences the rock cycle. For example, the formation, breakdown, and transformation of rocks (e.g., igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) are influenced by the movements of these plates due to convection currents. Activities such as subduction and volcanic activity, both driven by convection currents, play significant roles in the processes of the rock cycle.
