Which statement best summarizes the information in the paragraph?

A
Earthquakes may occur at all types of plate boundaries.
B
The strength of an earthquake depends on the type of boundary.

Which of these ideas did you include in your answer? Check all that apply.

A
The food coloring in the cool water stayed at the bottom of the container.
B
The food coloring in the heated water moved to the top of the container then it moved to the sides of the container. It finally sank to the bottom.
C
Warm water is less dense and rises and cold water is more dense and sinks. These differences cause convection currents.
