Which of the following statements best describes mantle convection?
a. Mantle convection occurs in the lithosphere when plates pull apart and volcanoes erupt.
b. Mantle convection occurs in the liquid outer core and is responsible for the Earth's magnetic field.
c. Mantle convection occurs in the asthenosphere, where the pressure is so high that the rock does not melt despite high temperatures, but can deform and flow over long time scales.
d. Mantle convection occurs in the asthenosphere where temperatures are so high that rock melts and liquid magma circulates throughout Earth's interior.
