They began to form by a combination of volcanic activity and the deposit of marine sediments. It formed along northwest Africa about 530 million years ago. ... As the Appalachian Mountains eroded, sand and clay were deposited over Florida's limestone layer.
Seems very basic, the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.
Convection is a process which transfers the heat between the temperatures when fluid (i.e. liquid or gas) is in motion. Due to the presence of heat source, water temperature increases and also it will become less dense and rise. Hot air is less dense than cold. When air rises higher in the atmosphere its pressure gets down and it becomes colder.
Answer:
(1) Less
Explanation:
Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
Answer:
If on a flat surface, it will widen and flow freely until friction stops it.
Explanation:
