Question 6 • Physical Science

Which area of Earth is most similar to the sun’s convection zone?

Answer
A
the poles
B
the crust
C
the equator
D
the mantle

Explanation

The sun’s convection zone transfers heat as hot material rises and cooler material sinks. Earth’s mantle behaves similarly: its slowly moving rock circulates through convection, helping drive the movement of tectonic plates. So the mantle is the most similar area.
