Answer:

Question:

“Layer Cake” model and Whole Mantle Convection

20

Identify the two models that shed light on the theory behind plate-mantle convection, which explains how plates move.

Briefcase 5

Answer:

Question:

1. Heating at the bottom caused by the heat loss from Earth’s core 2. Heating due to radioactive decay 3. Cooling on the surface creating thick, cold lithospheric slabs denser than the mantle.

What does a tectonic plate mean?

Briefcase 8

Answer:

Question:

Kinematics is the study of the motion of objects without regard to the forces that cause the motion. Dynamics is the study of how forces affect the motion of objects
