Finish your EOY slides by clicking here! When done show me and I will grant access the sample test to see how well you prepared for the test. Warning, in the future, you earn grades, they are not given! Application and synthesis of new information into new situations is the rest of your life!

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">A comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification. i.e.-

<span style="color: #878787; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Jolly Ranchers are like tectonic Plates because both are the solid version of a more dense liquid. Both Tectonic Plates and Jolly ranchers fracture under pressure in fault zones, releasing energy that travels in waves( earthquakes)

<span style="color: #878787; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Jolly Ranchers are made out of Cornstarch and Water, the mantle and outer core in our model is made from Cornstarch and Water.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">The athenosphere in our model, which is made from sugar, has some plasticity to it when heated like the real magma of the earth.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">or

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">The hot plate is like the earth's radioactive inner core, as long as it produces heat, the layers of our model will move and drive the plates in a miniature version of Plate tectonics.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">or

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">The carbon found in the sugar of the Jolly Ranchers is an analogy to the limestone on the basalt ocean bottom, as it is returned to the mantle convection by subduction in the "Ring of Fire" (Edge of the beaker) or

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">The steam bubbles given off int he experiments are like the off gassing of volcanoes creating the earth's atmosphere.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">or

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">The size of the bubble increase as they move up by convection inside the beaker like a mantle plume burning through the crust to form || Jan 11 <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">**Read-"A History of You".
