Asthenosphere

activities: convection currents

this lab was all about how the earth plates move. convection current is the way the heat of the magma move in.Convection Current is what moves earth's tectonic plates. the earth tectonic plates always is on the top of the mantle(asthenosphere). the mantle is the hottest, also locate under great pressure.
this lab was all about how the plates move in three ways. how experince begin with a tub full of water and a small cup with hot water, also we have used a food coloring .first step was we put the food coloring in the the cold water. after the food coloring were put in the the water and the change of water causing the botton of turn red. the second step was to put a little cup that full of hot water under the tub of cold water. the thing that happen putting the food coloring spread at the botton and rise back the top cause of the heat.
the last step is when we had to put the food coloring in the side of the tub and it was spreading around the tub and create a circle.
