Question:
Which of the following best describes convection: a. it is the process in which a liquid separates according to density, such as oil and water separating in a jar. b. it is the process in which bubbles of gas move upward through a liquid of the same temperature. c. it is the process by which rocks sink in water. d. it is the process in which warm material gets even warmer and cool material gets even cooler. e. it is the process in which warm material expands and rises while cool material contracts and falls.
The Movement of the Continents:
The movement of the Earth's continents is thought to have been caused by a collision with a large body early in the Earth's formation. This collision is believed to have removed a section of crust and formed the Moon, fracturing the surface and putting the continents into motion.
