explain the convection cycle that takes place within Earth’s layers. Describe the source of thermal energy; the direction of flow for thermal energy and matter; the role of gravity in the process. Choose the statement that has all information correct.

A. nucleic radiation in Earth's core; matter heats and moves upwards; then cool areas of the mantle move down
B. nuclear radiation in Earth's core; matter heats and moves in a spiral; then cool areas of the mantle move down
C. nuclear radiation in Earth's core; matter heats and moves upwards; then cool areas of the core also move up
D. nuclear radiation in Earth's core; matter heats and moves upwards; then cool areas of the mantle move down



Answer :

Nuclear radiation in Earth's core; matter heats and moves upwards; then cool areas of the mantle move down.

What is convection?

The term convection has to do with the situation in which there is a transfer of heat energy by the actual movement of the particles of the substance. We  know that convection occurs  within Earth’s layers.

The statement that correctly describes the movement of heat in the convection of the earth's layers is; nuclear radiation in Earth's core; matter heats and moves upwards; then cool areas of the mantle move down.
