Question
study the image of earths interior. which phrase explains what the arrows show?
how convection currents move in earths interior
the location of heated material near earths surface
where plates move as material cools in the outer core
why the densities of materials remain constant at different layers
(image of earths interior with labels: ridge, lithosphere, trench, mantle, asthenosphere, outer core, and arrows indicating movement)
The arrows in the diagram show warm mantle material rising toward the lithosphere at ridges, cooling, then sinking back toward the outer core, which matches the pattern of convection currents in Earth's interior. The other options are incorrect: heated material rises from deep inside, not just near the surface; plates move as material cools at trenches (not the outer core); and material densities change with depth (they are not constant) driving this movement.
