Which term is related to material moving downward in the mantle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sinking

During mantle convection, cooler and denser material moves downward; this downward movement is called sinking. Upwelling is the opposite process, in which hotter, less dense material rises. Exam tip: in convection, hot material rises while cooler, denser material sinks.
