Convection and Mantle

Question 1 • FL-2002070-M/J Comprehensive Science 2 A-CR

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will

Answer
A
speed up.
B
change direction.
C
eventually stop.
D
continue at the same rate forever.

Explanation

Convection currents form because heating creates temperature and density differences in the fluid, which make warmer fluid rise and cooler fluid sink. Once the heat source is removed, those differences gradually disappear, so the current eventually stops. The correct choice is “eventually stop.”
