Name: - Year and Section: - Date Submitted: - Lithospheric Float

The document contains an activity asking students to answer questions about convection currents and lithospheric plates based on a picture. The questions ask students to identify what represents plates and the mantle in the picture, locate the heat source, explain why blocks of wood are floating, describe the density of different parts of water, and explain convection currents. The activity then has students complete a paragraph by choosing the correct words from a word bank related to convection currents in the Earth's mantle and lithosphere.

2. Answer in a separate sheet of paper

Answer the following:

Based on the picture,

1. What represents the plates?


2. What represents the mantle?
3. Where is the heat source?
4. Why are the blocks of wood floating?

Activity 2.
Complete the paragraph by choosing the correct answer from the box.

ACROSS
5. Heat transfer in convection is cause by differences in and density in a fluid or
gas particle.
6. Magma is made of rock formed beneath the Earth's surface
9. This is where lithospheric plates flow.
10. In the asthenosphere, there are lithospheric

DOWN
1. The lithosphere at the boundary will uplift and tear apart due to hot
magma
2. Convection currents also happen in the .
3. A convection current is a transfer process
4. The source of heat from the core is due to the decay of elements.
7. The presence of a heavier subducting plate pulls down the trailing slab to the subduction
zone
8. A current tends to move a fluid, gas particles, or molten rock.
