Answer:

b pocontenius movement of plates

Answer:

b.Continuous movement of plates

Explanation:

Because the cooler and denser lithosphere is more rigid than the asthenosphere, the asthenosphere is pushed outward and upward. During subduction, the downward moving plate is heated, melting occurs, and molten rock flows upward to Earth's surface.
