Scientists have several thepries about magma hotspots and mantle plumes. They are theories because neither can be observed within the Earth's layers.
Scientists say a model of a hotspot/mantle plume location in the Earth is much like a lava lamp.
Consider the photo of the lava lamp and complete the analogy
Select which
description would not apply.
A
The lava in the lamp represents the magma in the mantle.
B
The outer glass case represents the rigid rock layers in the mantle and crust
C
The rising lava represents the magma that moves toward the crust via convection.
D
The heating coil in the bottom of the lamp represents the heat energy in Earth's core,
