    Crust- Solid Mantle- Liquid Outer Core- Liquid Inner Core- Solid (Too much pressure for it to be liquid. Doesn’t have the space to expand.) Convections cells- Due to the pressure in the earth’s core‚ when it heats up the pressure causes the heat to push against the earth’s mantle‚ triggering it to move‚ caused by convection currents. Convection Currents- it’s a concept of what causes the plate tectonics to move. http://www.scotese.com/pangeanim.htm Plate Boundaries Map Types of Crust:

    nves Title of the Project: Frozen Hot Ice Cream Rationale: We have encountered a phenomenon that states that the hotter liquid freezes faster than cold liquid. This phenomenon has been known for a long time‚ but was rediscovered by a Tanzanian high school student‚ Erasto Mpemba‚ in the 1960s. He and his classmates were making ice cream‚ using a recipe that included boiled milk. The students were supposed to wait for the mixture to cool before putting it in the freezer. The remaining

    1. INTRODUCTION The sun is the largest source of renewable energy and this energy is abundantly available in all parts of the earth. It is in fact one of the best alternatives to the non-renewable sources of energy. Solar energy has been used since prehistoric times‚ but in a most primitive manner. Before 1970‚ some research and development was carried out in a few countries to exploit solar energy more efficiently‚ but most of this work remained mainly academic . After the dramatic rise in oil

    because hot air is lighter than cool air therefore hot air rises. Therefore the hot air that rises will stay at the top. Meanwhile the air below begins to gain heat and in turn rises while the hot air above loses heat and falls. This cycle is called convection. Loft insulation acts like a blanket‚ helping prevent heat escaping through the roof. Insulating your home isn’t a one off saving either‚ it will keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer‚ helping you to save money on your

    geological structure of the Earth. The earth’s crust is made up of seven major plates and a number of minor plates. The plates move because of the convection currents in the mantle caused by temperature differences within the mantle‚ leading to volcanoes and earthquakes‚ the world’s major geophysical hazards. The movement of plates due to convection currents results in a variety of types of plate boundary‚ each of which gives rise to particular types of hazards. Constructive boundaries occur

    Investigation of how Changing the Volume of Water in a Container Affects Its Rate of Heat Loss Aim : To investigate how changing the volume of water in a container affects its rate of its heat loss. The variable of this investigation is the volume of water which is put in the container. What I already know: I already know that the larger the volume of water there is the less heat loss occurs. I can tell this from my previous pilot experiment where I investigated‚ if the volume of water
