Sometimes when you eat at a restaurant, the waiter tells you the plate is hot. I usually touch it anyway, and burn my hand. This is due to __________________.
conduction

boundary where 2 plates come together
convergent

A divergent boundary is where 2 plates come apart. What landform can result from this?
new ocean basin, mid-ocean ridge, or rift valley

400
The type of heat transfer that occurs in the mantle.
convection

Study the diagram. Describe what is happening at D. Use the words potential and kinetic energy in your explanation.
Potential energy is changing into kinetic energy
or
Potential energy is decreasing and kinetic energy is increasing
