when mantle rocks near the radioactive core are heated, they become less dense than the cooler, upper mantle rocks. these warmer rocks rise, while the cooler rocks sink. this movement of warmer and cooler mantle rocks creates pockets of circulation within the mantle called which are thought to be the force behind the movement of tectonic plates over the asthenosphere.
a) magma flows
b) density cells
c) convection cells (currents)

100 grams of molten lead (600°c) is used to make musket balls. if the lead shot is allowed to cool to room temperature (21°c), what is the change in entropy (in j/k) of the lead? (for the specific heat of molten and solid lead use 1.29 j/g⋅°c; the latent heat of fusion and the melting point of lead are 2.45 × 104 j/kg and 327°c, respectively.)
