B. conduction

C. condensation

D. radiation

3.What causes surface currents?

A. differences in density

B. differences in water temperature

C. high salinity

D. wind forces

4.How do the causes of surface and deepwater currents differ?

A. Surface currents are caused by differences in water salinity; deepwater currents are caused by differences in water temperature.

B. Surface currents are caused by the Coriolis effect; deepwater currents are caused by differences in water density.

C. Surface currents are caused by differences in water density; deepwater currents are caused by wind.

D. Surface currents are caused by wind; deepwater currents are caused by differences in water density.

Wind and ocean currents do not move in straight lines; instead, they curve as they move across the planet.

5.What is responsible for this pattern of movement?

A. the Coriolis effect

B. differences in water temperature

C, differences in water salinity

D. differences in water density

Mantle convection  is the slow  creepingmotion of earth's solid silicate  mantle  caused by  convection  currents carrying  heat from the interior  to the planet's surface.[1][2]  the earth's surface  lithosphere, which rides atop the  asthenosphere  (the two components of the  upper mantle), is divided into a number of  plates  that are continuously being created and consumed at their opposite  plate boundaries. accretion occurs as mantle is added to the growing edges of a plate, associated with  seafloor spreading. this hot added material cools down by  conduction  and  convection  of heat. at the consumption edges of the plate, the material has thermally contracted to become dense, and it sinks under its own weight in the process of  subduction  usually at an  ocean trench.[3]this subducted material sinks through the earth's interior. some subducted material appears to reach the lower mantle,[4]  while in other regions, this material is impeded from sinking further, possibly due to a phase transition from  spinel  to  silicate perovskiteand  magnesiowustite, an  endothermic reaction.[5]the subducted oceanic crust triggers  volcanism, although the basic mechanisms are varied. volcanism may occur due to processes that add buoyancy to partially melted mantle causing an upward flow due to a decrease in density of the partial melt.secondary forms of convection that may result in surface volcanism are postulated to occur as a consequence of intraplate extension[6]  and  mantle plumes.[7]it is because the mantle can convect that the  tectonic plates  are able to move around the earth's surface.[8]mantle convection seems to have been much more active during the  hadean  period, resulting in gravitational sorting of heavier molten  iron, and  nickel  elements and  sulphides  in the core, and lighter  silicate minerals  in the  mantle.
