Scientists believe that convection currents within the____ are responsible for the movement of the plates that form the Earth's crust. A asthenosphere B lithosphere C inner core D outer core 9. The MOST recently formed crust of the Earth would be found— A where plates moving sideways passed each other. B where one plate is going under another plate. C where two plates are pushing directly toward each other. D where two plates are moving away from each other in opposite directions.

If the river in the topographic map illustrated in the previous question cut a deeper canyon over time, what might the topographic map of the area look like? A B C D 12. Use the topographic map below to predict how the land form may be reshaped by weathering. A Weathering could reshape the top of the land form to increase elevation.
