Part 1: Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas. Cooler liquid or gas then takes the place of the warmer areas which have risen higher. This results in a continuous circulation pattern.
Part 2: The Earth's crust is broken up into pieces called plates. The crust moves because of movements deep inside the earth. Heat rising and falling inside the mantle creates convection currents generated by radioactive decay in the core. The convection currents move the plates.

Explanation:

Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat. ... Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Incomplete

"Check all that apply. porosity, moisture, temperature, mineral, softness, or ease of dissolving"

<em>From the options, the three answers are </em><u><em>mineral composition,</em></u><em> </em><u><em>ease of dissolving</em></u><em> and p</em>

Explanation:

Weathering is the phenomenon in which surface of rocks are broken down and leaches or washed away.

The factors that affect the rock type and rate of weathering of said rock include:

  1. Composition: this translates to the <u>mineral composition </u>in the rock and how susceptible to chemical weathering reaction
  2. Surface area and porosity: Surface <u>porosity </u>determines how easily the rock can be leached by wind or rain.
  3. Climate: Mechanical weathering due to extreme climate change can cause freezing and thawing of the rocks, thereby enhancing disintegration of the rock. This is determined by the <u>ease of dissolving </u>of the rock.
