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.

N which side of a mountain is precepitation most likely to occur
sdas [7]
<span>The windward side (as opposed to the leeward side). This is the side facing the prevailing wind, where the air is forced up the mountain where it must cool, condense, and precipitate out its moisture. As it passes the mountain it will sink, whereby it compresses and warms, which is not conducive to precipitation or even clouds.

Hope this helps you with your question :P</span>

Explain the relationship between evaporation, condensation, condensation
dmitriy555 [2]

There is a close relationship between evaporation( transformation of water into water vapor in presence of heat), condensation (transformation of water vapor into water droplets), condensation nuclei (minute water droplet) and cloud (assemblage of too many water droplets). For the formation of cloud all these mentioned conditions are required.

Explanation:

Evaporation refers to the transformation of water into water vapor by the action of heat, condensation means transformation of water vapor into water droplet in normal temperature, condensation nuclei refers to the water droplets which is base of formation of cloud.

Cloud forms from the assemblage of water droplets. These water droplets are formed in saturated air condition when the air is full of humidity. Relative humidity means the ratio between the water holding capacity of air and the amount of actual water in air at that particular temperature.
