In the earth’s mantle , large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents, which would cause the heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle . The hot rocks eventually will cool and sink back through the mantle which will make the cycle repeat which would be the cycle of rising and sinking .

The bering strait separates what two continents
xeze [42]

Answer:

Asia and North-America

Explanation:

The Bering strait is a portion of about 47 miles (75 km) that separates Asia (Russia) and North-America (state of Alaska, USA).  Let's remember that Alaska belonged to Russia and was bought by the US.

That straight is a place with very harsh and extremely violent weather fueled by cold Arctic water and winds.

20,000 years ago, that straight was solid ice and that's how human migrated from Asia to North America (and went further South afterwards).
