    This document contains a 6 question quiz about plate tectonics and the structure and convection currents of Earth's interior. The questions assess knowledge of locations with the hottest crustal temperatures, relative densities of crustal bedrock, the primary cause of mantle convection currents, evidence that supports the existence of mantle convection cells, and how convection currents in the mantle are affecting the Atlantic Ocean basin.
