Magma gets heated, rises, flows horizontally (the plate over it moves with it, but not as fast as the magma), cools and sinks.

What is the sequence of events that causes the movement of the plates on the earth's surface using the terms core heat mantle flow rise sideways drags cools sinks?

This may not use all the words but this is right. The magma in the core is heated and rises. After that it flows side ways. Then it sinks


Explain the sequence of events that cause the movement of the plates on the earths surface use these terms core heat mantle flow rise sideways drag cools?

First the heat below the mantle makes even the solid part of the mantle flow very slowly as though it were very thick liquid. the hot rising part of the mantle cools as it nears the crust. as the cooling mantle moves sideways it drags along the plate floating on top of it. the arrows show the cooled mantle sinking back down. later on the mantle will may be get warm and rise again.

How does the water go through the water cycle?

i think there's maybe 12..Precipitation- any form of water which falls from the atmosphereInterception by vegetation- raindrops prevented from falling directly onto the soil by a layer of vegetationTranspiration- The loss of water from the pores in plantsStem flow- movement of water from plantsOverland flow- or surface run off; movement of water across the land surfaceSurface storage- where water is temporarily held in the ground surface as an interception storageInfiltration- movement of water through soilSoil moisture storage- The maximum rate that water can pass through soilPercolation- Downward vertical movement of water from the soil, to rockThrough flow- Sideways movement of water into soilGround water flow- slow sideways movement of water through rockEvaporation- water changed into water vapor (gas)hope this helped :)
