Question

The mantle of the earth is made up of liquid rock. How does heat flow from the core through the mantle?
a. Conduction
b. Convection
c. Radiation
d. The coriolis Effect​

Answer 1

Answer:

While there is a layer of liquid rock in the earth known as the outer core, this layer is about 3000 km below earth's surface and is separated from the surface by the thick solid mantle. Though solid, this layer is weak and ductile enough to slowly flow under heat convection, causing the tectonic plates to move.
