Question 1 of 2 • SS4: PGCPS EARTH SPACE OC (SUMMER 2027) - 794243

Which statement accurately describes the movement of Earth’s plates due to convection currents?

Answer

Material near the core cools as heat is transferred toward the crust.

Heated materials become denser, causing them to rise toward the surface.

As heated material gets closer to the surface, it begins to cool.

As materials cool, they become less dense and sink back toward the core.
