Question

how did the convection model show how earths mantle moves earths plates?
○ the water carried the pieces of paper to the middle of the container.
○ the water carried the pieces of paper to the sides of the container.
○ the water pushed the pieces of paper to the top of the container.
○ the water pushed the pieces of paper to the bottom of the container.

Explanation:

In a mantle convection model using water and paper pieces (representing tectonic plates), heated water rises at the center, then cools and sinks at the edges. This circular flow carries the paper pieces (plates) toward the sides, mimicking how mantle convection moves tectonic plates apart at ridges and toward subduction zones at edges.

Answer:

The water carried the pieces of paper to the sides of the container.
