Name Unit 3 Period Handout 92 Date Lesson 8: Modeling Convection in the Mantle Analysis Purpose: To analyze your data from the convection model activity. Guiding Questions: How is convection connected to plate movement, earthquakes, and volcanoes? 1. What observations did you make of the heated fluid? 2. Under what conditions could you observe convection cells forming inside the jar? How did they move? 3. What happened to the fluid near the upper surface of the jar (parallel to the table)? 4. What causes convection currents in a gas or liquid? 5. Based on what you have seen in the jar, what effect do you think convection in the hot mantle might have on the earth’s plates? What observations of the fluid inside the jar support your explanation? Unit 3 | Lesson 8: Modeling Convection in the Mantle Analysis Page 1
