Question

your model showed the role of the movement of earths mantle in the movement of earths plates. use the drop-down menus to describe how your model represented this idea. which part of plate tectonics do the pieces of paper represent? which part of plate tectonics does the movement of food color which part of plate tectonics does the candle represent? convection currents heat from earths core earths plates plate boundaries

Explanation:

1. Paper pieces are rigid, floating layers like Earth's crustal plates.
2. Food coloring moving in a fluid mimics mantle convection currents that drive plates.
3. A candle provides heat, analogous to Earth's core which generates mantle convection.

Answer:

• Which part of plate tectonics do the pieces of paper represent? Earth's plates
• Which part of plate tectonics does the movement of food coloring represent? convection currents
• Which part of plate tectonics does the candle represent? heat from Earth’s core
