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.

What does the term strain mean as it is used in genetic crosses
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

In biology, the strain is a low-level taxonomic rank used in different contexts:

In microbiology, a strain is a part of a bacterial species different from other bacteria of the same species by a minor but identifiable difference. Strains are often created in the laboratory by mutagenesis existing strains or wild-type examples of bacterial species.

In zoology, a strain corresponds to an individual or group of individuals who are at the origin of a line of descendants, sometimes called the holotype, paratypes, etc. A strain is a population of organisms that descends from a single organism or pure isolate culture. Strains of the same species may differ slightly from each other in many respects.

A strain thus consists of a group of organisms of the same species possessing certain differential traits based on their relationship; either they come from the same region, as the same watershed of a river, or they are the fruit of a particular breeding program (exists as a whole interbreeding without introductions from external sources).
