  1. • Tectonic cycle
  2. – Movements/ interactions by which rocks are cycled from the mantle to the crust and back
  3. – Includes earthquakes, volcanism, and plate motion, driven by convection in the mantle
  4. – As a result, seafloor recycles itself every 200 million years
  5. • Earth’s internal heat
  6. – Conduction
  7. • Slow release of heat
  8. – Convection
  9. • A form of heat transfer in which hot material circulates from hotter to colder regions, looses its heat, and then repeats the cycle
