The rocks closest to the mid ocean ridge
100
How much mass of the solar system does the sun make up
99%

200
The results of the experiment
Data

Based on the diagram, explain how convection currents in the mantle allow for tectonic plates to shift and collide?
The liquid rock of the mantle is heated by the Earth's core, which creates convection currents that push the tectonic plates across the globe.

A scientist developed an experiment to test whether the dissolution rate of carbonate rocks increases with a decrease in pH of the water that the rock is in. What is the dependent variable?
Dissolution rate of carbonate rocks
400
Explain the theory of Pangea and why the continents are like they are now
Tectonic plate movement has shift the continents father and father apart because they are constantly moving
