Question

The Indian plate and the Eurasian plate collided to create the Himalayan mountains. Which

statement below best describes what would happen to the plates if more force was added to
the convection currents. ?

Answer 1

Greater acceleration of the plates towards each other

Step-by-step explanation:

If more force is added to the convection currents, there would be a greater acceleration of the plates towards each other.

A lithospheric plate is driven by underlying asthenosphere which is ductile and readily flows. The plate lies on the asthenosphere.

The rate of movement of the asthenosphere determines the rate at which the plate above is moving.

The greater the convection below, the faster the plate moves.
