Question

Use the following diagram to answer this question.

Answer 1

Answer:

The response is 1 – C. The mantle is the name given to this layer of the earth. The rocks in this area are "plastic." The rocks are plastic because the temperatures are high enough to turn them into liquid, but the area's tremendous pressure prevents this from happening. The continental plates of the earth's crust are pulled along by the mantle's convection currents, which causes tectonic movements.
