B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.

The image shows a wheel that’s wound up and released. The wheel moves up and down as shown. Identify the position of the wheel w
slega [8]

The highest point of the wheel is the position of the wheel when its potential energy is greatest.

<h3>At what position of the wheel potential energy is greatest?</h3>

The position of the wheel when its potential energy is greatest when it is at the highest point because potential energy depends on the height of an object. If the object is at more height then it has more potential energy and vice versa.

So we can conclude that the highest point of the wheel is the position of the wheel when its potential energy is greatest.
