Question

multiple choice question
a convection cell in the mantle is the ______.
pattern of movement mantle material takes as it heats and cools
path mantle material takes to revolve around earths core
path tectonic plates take once they subduct into earth

Explanation:

A convection cell in the mantle is formed due to the heating and cooling of mantle material, which causes it to move in a circular - like pattern. Mantle material doesn't revolve around the Earth's core in the context of convection cells, and the subduction of tectonic plates is a different geological process not related to the definition of a mantle convection cell.

Answer:

pattern of movement mantle material takes as it heats and cools
