Which statements about the Earth are correct?

[ Select TWO choices ]

Convection currents move in the same direction due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
Convection currents are heavily influenced by the Earth's tilt and revolution around the Sun.
While the Earth's crust is relatively stable and solid, the inner layers are in constant motion.
The outer core of the Earth is made of solid iron and does not move relative to the inner core.
Convection currents occur when cool magma from the core rises, and hot magma from the crust sinks.

The correct statements about the Earth are:

  1. While the Earth's crust is relatively stable and solid, the inner layers are in constant motion.
  2. Convection currents are heavily influenced by the Earth's tilt and revolution around the Sun.

The other statements about Earth contain inaccuracies or misconceptions, particularly regarding the nature and behavior of convection currents and the composition of the Earth's layers.
