he earth’s mantle is made of a dense thick material that causes movement of crustal plates. Crustal plate movement occurs because the mantle flows as a result of uneven heating inside the mantle. Very hot material deep in the mantle creates _____________ that rise, then cool, then sink, and then heat again, with the cycle repeating.

Question

Responses
A magma flowsmagma flows
B magma currentsmagma currents
C magnetic wavesmagnetic waves
D convection currents

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) convection currents.

Convection currents in the mantle are responsible for the movement of the crustal plates due to the continuous cycle of heating, rising, cooling, and sinking of the mantle material.
