A.) Divergent

B.) Subduction

C.) Convergent

D.) Transform

3.) In the mantle convection system, cooler material rises above hotter material in Earth’s mantle.

A.) True
B.) False

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Inflexible

Answer 2

• By analyzing the picture given below we can say that:

1)Option- (A) Mutable,

2)Option-(A): Divergent,

3)Option-(B): False,

The explanation is given below:

Step-by-step explanation:

• The Asthenosphere:

The layer beneath the lithosphere, and is above the earth's mantle, where the resistance to the plastic flow is low and there is thought to be the process of convection happening in the layer.

• Mid Atlantic Ridge Moves:

The mid Atlantic ridge (Ocean ridge system) which is due to the resulting divergent movement between of the ridges in between the different tectonic plates of the earth(the Eurasian and North American, and African and South American Plates).

• Convection System:

A very slow mechanism in the structure of the earth, in which through the process of convection currents the heat is carried from the interior to the surface of the earth.
