Chao is thinking about doing a project on plate tectonics for the school science fair. which design would best relate to how the movement in the earth’s mantle is related to plate motion?

Chao should use a flat shallow pan filled with a thick liquid that can be heated by a hot plate with pieces of thin plastic sheets floating on top of the liquid. This part of the experiment will best depict plate tectonics because of the variables that can be seen

hope this helps
