Final Jeopardy Explain how convection in the mantle works and how it moves the tectonic plates

Final Jeopardy Answer Heat from the core causes magma to become less dense. It rises towards the crust (some erupts to create the mid-ocean ridge). The rest moves sideways and it pushes the plates apart. The magma cools, becomes more dense and sinks back down to repeat the cycle.
