landmass called ____________.
________________8. The current in the mantle that because of the heat in the inner layer of the Earth, the force
was created that drives the plates to move around.
________________9. ___________ is the soft, weak upper portion of the mantle where the lithospheric plates float
and move around.
________________10. __________are the preserved remains or traces of organisms (plants and animals) from the
