Plasticity Today, you will see what happens to a material that has plasticity (the ability to
flow) when it is heated from below

Observations The corn syrup warmed & bubbled on the
bottom of the pan in the center.
The warmed corn syrup rose causing the cardboard to move apart very slowly.
This is a model of convection.

CONVECTION:• When a substance moves because it is heated from below and cooled
from above.
Warm less dense material rises while cooler more dense material sinks.

Earth vs. Model
When comparing our model to the earth, what do the following parts of your model represent?
• The heat source (candle): Core
• The moving syrup: Mantle Convection
• The cardboard pieces: pieces of the Earth’s crust

LAB 3: FORCES THAT CAUSE EARTH MOVEMENTS
Key Question: Does the rock of the Earth’s mantle move?
Yes, the rock of the earth’s mantle is a solid but it has plasticity (or the
ability to flow)
![Page 14: LAB 3: FORCES THAT CAUSE EARTH MOVEMENTS Key Question: Does the rock of the Earth’s mantle move?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c925503460f9494d5ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust.
The Earth’s crust (lithosphere) is like a puzzle.
It is made up of a series of plates (Lithospheric plates) that move around the earth slowly due to convection in the mantle (more specifically the asthenosphere)
![Page 15: LAB 3: FORCES THAT CAUSE EARTH MOVEMENTS Key Question: Does the rock of the Earth’s mantle move?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c925503460f9494d5ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Plate Tectonics
Is the theory that the earth’s crust is broken into plates that
move and interact with each other
These plates interact with each other at
Plate boundaries (areas where plates meet)

There are 3 main types of plate boundaries:
•Divergent•Convergent •Transform

Divergent Plate Boundaries Where lithospheric plates move away from each other and new crust is formed
Convergent Plate Boundaries Where lithospheric plates move toward each other and collide
Transform Boundaries Where lithospheric plates
slide/grind past each other side-by-side

• Ocean plate is subducted below continent.Subduction: The movement when one plate (oceanic crust)
dives below another plate
•A trench forms above the subduction zone in water• A volcanic mountain chain forms on land

•Continents collide and fold up (crunch) to form mountains
