Answer:
The movement of heat by convection in the asthenosphere causes the rock of the mantle to slowly move in huge streams. ... As the rock of the asthenosphere moves in different directions, it carries parts of the lithosphere along with it. The lithospheric rock can't stretch, so it breaks into pieces--forming the plates.
Explanation:
Label each statement with its corresponding type of scientific knowledge.

The melting point of ice is 0°C: thus is a fact based on repetitive experiments
Repeated observations have consistently
shown that oppositely charged objects
attract each other: this is law
When the elements carbon and nitrogen
are mixed at 1500°C, they will react
with each other.
this is a hypothesis
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons,
and electrons. Although we can’t directly
see these particles, this structure
explains many experimental observations
