Tectonic plates might consist of continental lithosphere on

Tectonic plates might consist of ______. continental lithosphere only either oceanic or continental lithosphere, but not both oceanic lithosphere only oceanic or continental lithosphere or a combination of both Heat transfer that occurs through the movement of a fluid, driven by temperature differences among various points within the fluid is _______ adhesion conduction convection radiation

Solution

9) Tectonic lithosphere plates consist of lithospheric mantle overlain by either or both of two types of crustal material: oceanic crust and continental crust .

hence option d is correct.

10) Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it. Convection above a hot surface occurs because hot air expands, becomes less dense, and rises.

Hence option c is correct
