The correct answer is - cools, moves to the side, and sinks, making a circular pattern.


The mantle convection is the one responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates, as well as for the destruction, recycling, and creating of new crust on the surface of the Earth.


Once the material from the mantle reaches the surface, it starts to fill in the gap and expand, thus creating new crust as it cools off, and it moves sideways, which pushes the older crust. The older crust sinks at other place where it subducts, thus is getting melted into the mantle and recycled, and over time, that recycled material will come on the surface again, thus creating a circular pattern.

During mantle convection, heat from the earth's core causes material in the mantle to expand and move upward. When it reaches the top, it cools,moves to the side, and sinks, making a circular pattern. This creates a continuous current of hot and cold material, leading to the movement of tectonic plates.

Explain the cause of daily tides. What human activities do the tides affect and how?
Fynjy0 [20]

Tides are caused by the specific alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun.

When aligned a certain way the the gravitational pulls basically share and add on to each other creating tidal waves.

An example of a certain alignment would be spring tides, which happen during a New or Full moon.

Examples: Boat sailors must watch out for tides and make sure to plan their sailing journeys according to the tide. They don't want to be caught against a tide, especially small board sailors.

Also fisherman keep note of tides since some sea life rely on tides for survival and feeding or some fish simply follow the movement of the tides. Fisherman use tides as an indication of when it'd be best to go fishing.

babymother [125]
The statement is true, all of these are important natural resources in the Caribbean islands. Most important are definitely the waters, climate and beaches, these three make the tourism possible and bring in the biggest income in the Caribbean countries. Even though they do have some exports like the coconuts, zinc and manganese, these islands are heavily dependent on imported goods and resources.
