What continent would you be on at 10 degrees south and 70 degrees west

The point made by the coordinates 10 degrees south and 70 degrees west would lie on the continent of South America.

Explanation:

The continent of South America lies between 18 degrees north latitude and 56 degrees south latitude. The point made by the confluence of '10 degrees' south latitude and '70 degrees west longitude' falls on the western side of the South American continent in the country of Brazil, close to the border between 'Peru and Brazil'.

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 correct answer is true
