What will happen to the Mediterranean sea as the Eurasian plate and the African plate continue to move towards each other over time?

• It will get smaller

• It will get larger

• It will eventually disappear

• Nothing will happen

How will the land in this area change as the Eurasian plate and the African plate continue to move towards each other over time?

• Mountains will form

• Land will be destroyed

• Nothing will happen

What drives the movements of Earth's plates?

• Convection currents in the mantle

• Earth's rotation

• sea floor spreading
