10. How does orographic precipitation form in coastal areas? Hot, humid air rises from the earth's surface and cools.
Warm air is forced upward by cool, heavier air.
Moist winds are forced upward by high landforms.
Dry, hot alr warms the area behind inland mountains.

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust. 

The sun's parallax would be 180 degrees, greater than which you can't get.  so a. would be your anwser
