Describe convection currents
What is
Particles of hot soup rise slowly in a pot simmering on a stove. As the hot soup nears the surface, it begins to cool. The cooler soup sinks, forming a constant movement of soup that moves energy toward the surface of the pot.

TRICKY QUESTION FROM CHAPTER 1
What is the difference between radiation, convection, and conduction?
What is radiation is the transfer of heat from the sun and is transferred in waves, conduction is the transfer of heat from touching something like a hot pot, convection is the transfer of heat in liquid and moves in a circle so the whole liquid is heated evenly-it happens in the MANTLE!
Pyroclastic flow is_______, and when does it occur?
What is ash, cinders, and bombs that come from a volcano eruption
What is explosive volcanoes
How can volcanoes form?
What is volcanoes can form from two plates converging together where one plate goes underneath the other as the plate goes into the mantle it can melt the plate and cause magma to form and rise to the surface
If subduction occurs
