Write the scientific term:

The circulation of a material caused by difference in temperature and density.

Convection current
Complete the sentences:
The forces causing plate motion are basal drag , ridge push , and slab push.
Put T or F:
1. Convection currents in the asthenosphere cause the lithosphere to move.
T
2. Denser rocks float on less dense rocks.
F
Give reason:
1. Some volcanoes and earthquakes happen away from plate boundaries.
Because the plates are not perfectly rigid.
2. Plates can move.
Because of convection currents in asthenosphere.
Problem
The plates along a ridge spread at an average rate of 2 cm/year. How long
does it take to separate 1 meter?
Note:
1 meter = 100 cm
2 cm = 1 year
100 cm = x years
Step 1 = Cross-multiplication
So, x = 100 x 1 ÷ 2
50 years
So, x = 50 years
