  • They move away from each other
  • They are a passive boundaries so, they don´t move

Question 2

Question
Why the hottest magma of the mantle rises up?
Answer
  • Hottest magma decreases its density because its volume increases due to more kinetic energy
  • Hottest magma increases its density because its volume increases due to more kinetic energy
  • Particles of hot magma bumps into each other with less kinetic energy and have less space in between them
