Explanation:

1. For the true/false question: Plate tectonics is defined as the scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of Earth's lithospheric plates (the rigid outer layer of the planet, forming the surface). The statement matches this core definition.
2. For the fill-in questions:

• Subduction is the specific geological process at convergent boundaries where a denser tectonic plate is pushed under another and sinks into the mantle due to gravity.
• Convection refers to the slow, cyclic motion of Earth's mantle driven by heat currents transferring heat from the planet's interior to the surface, which is the primary driver of plate movement.

Answer:

1. A. True
2. Subduction is a geological process at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another due to gravity into the mantle.
3. Convection is the slow motion of Earth's mantle caused by currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface.
