Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hot lower mantle material rises upward ( Figure below ). As it rises, it cools. At the top of the mantle it moves horizontally. Over time it becomes cool and dense enough that it sinks. Back at the bottom of the mantle, it travels horizontally. Eventually the material gets to the location where warm mantle material is rising. The rising and sinking of warm and cooler material is called convection . Q: What is the rising and sinking of warm and cooler material called? Choices: - depression - conveyance - diffusion - convection A:
convection

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The fishing float in Figure below bobs on the surface of the water. The fish in the figure is suspended in the water near the surface. Why do the float and fish stay on or near the surface? Why don't they sink? The answer is buoyancy, another property of fluids. Q: What property of fluids causes something to stay on or near the surface of water? Choices: - density - strength - weight - buoyancy A:
buoyancy
