<u>Answer</u>: 2
The convection currents shown in points 1 and 3 transfer heat from the outer core (number 4) to the lithosphere. Here, the lower density hot magma breaks apart the plates at <em>point 2</em> creating a divergent plate boundary. <u>This new magma mass will drive a lateral movement of the plates</u>. The edges of the plates which have a higher density basalt rock will sink into the mantle and get consumed in trenches/subduction zones

Disposable thumbs, maybe? No other animals really have fingers, that can move move like humans.
Answer:
phototropism
Explanation:
The student was investigating phototropism.
The student wanted to know the response of the roots to light, that is why he exposed them to light.
Roots naturally exhibit two types of tropisms.
The first is gravitropism whereby they tend to grow downwards.
The second is hydrotropism whereby they grow towards the direction of water.
In the above experiment, no water was provided, the roots grew away from the light source but not specifically downwards.
