Convection Cell

Convection cycles move in the mantle. How does this affect the crust?

• crust has no motion

• crust moves in random direction

• crust moves in same direction convection cycle moves

Why does hot mantle rise (go/move up)?

• hot = less dense

• hot = no change

• hot = more dense
