"A convection current occur within the mantle" What is convection current?

Type response here

Draw

Circle where the "new" land will be located. Put a *star where the magma would be the hottest

Labeling

The movement of the molten lava mixed with iron flowing under the earths surface creates a electromagnetic flux where the earths magnetic field switches. The evidence can been seen in the crust intself.

Drag labels to their correct position on the image

alternating magnetic field

older surface

Mid Atlantic ridge

Newer surface

Mantle

Match

Match the term with it's definition or example

Subduction

Convection

magnetic stripes

Mid-Ocean ridge

sea floor spreading

ocean floor sinks beneath lithosphere

Warm magma rising and cool magma sinking

sea floor changes due to magnetic switch

where new sea floor is being created

process new and old earth on ocean floor

Drag and Drop

The ocean floor is a diverse landscape shaped by various geological features.

are volcanic mountain chains where new crust forms, and rift valleys are low areas in these ridges where plates pull apart.

are the deepest parts of the ocean, formed by one plate plunging under another. Seamounts are underwater volcanic

, while guyots are flattened underwater

. The continental slope is a steep drop-off at the edge of continents, leading to the continental rise, where

accumulates. Abyssal plains are vast, smooth areas at great depths, representing some of the deepest parts of the ocean.

Drag these tiles and drop them in the correct blank above

Mid-ocean ridges

Trenches

mountains

plateaus

sediment
