9
Category 2--600
How do geologists observe Earths interior?
What are.recording and studying seismic waves
10
Category 2--800
Define divergent boundaries.
What is.two plates moving away from each other
11
Category 2--1000
Describe how convection currents work in Earths
mantle.
What is.material is warmed by the core and
mantle-the material rises because it is less
dense and then falls because it becomes more
dense.
