To the east of the coastal country, some of Syria's major cities lie on steppes, which are characterized by a large plateau.

True or False

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust. 

The earth spins around. one side faces the sun, one side faces space. the side facing the sun, we call daytime. side facing away is cooler and is nighttime. a day on earth is 24 hours, that’s how long it takes the earth to fully rotate one time. hope this !
