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.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

auditory cortex

Explanation:

Sensory information passes both the auditory and the limbic systems by the means of medial geniculate nucleus (MGN), a small oval mass that protrudes slightly from the underside of the thalamus, a big double-lobed structure buried under the cerebral cortex. Before the signal can travel on, however, it passes through another nearby structure called the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), which evaluates whether or not it should be passed on.

Match each moon or planet to the most accurate characteristic.
Olegator [25]

Each moon or planet matched to the most accurate characteristic;  

1. It contains large amounts of frozen water - C. Europa

2. High levels of carbon dioxide increase the temperature of its atmosphere - B. Venus

3. It does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere - A. Earth's moon

4. Astronomers believe there is a good chance it contains liquid water - D. Mars

Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Others are Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. An outer layer of water, about 100 km (62 mi) thick, covered the surface of Europa. A part of the outer layer (crust) is said to be frozen, while the other part is a liquid ocean below the ice.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the hottest planet in the solar system. The atmosphere of Venus is dense, and it is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (roughly 96.5 percent), which traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.
