WHAT IS CONVECTION PROCESS??

describe the rising, spread, and sinking of


gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the
application of heat.
WHAT IS DENSITY?
Is the amount of anything in a certain space,
the quantity of matter in a given area.
DENSITY
More Dense - something is heavy for its size,
it has a high density

Less Dense - an object is light for its size it


has a low density.
WHAT IS SUBDUCTION ZONE?
