the Himalayan mountain range http://www.globe-images.net/
Here is my labelled diagram and the plasticene model of the layers of the earth.
In the hard boiled egg experiment I cracked the shell and I pushed, pulled and slid the pieces of shell to get an idea of the earth's plate movement. I ate the egg before I remembered I had to cut it in half and photograph it. It would have looked like my plasticene model I think.
I have learnt that mountain ranges like the Himalayas are made when the plates shift and push one up above the other. Seismic waves (energy) travel up and through the crust and they cause most of the damage in an earthquake.
Excellent work Mishai! I love how detailed your explanation is!
ReplyDeleteYour experiments with the plasticine looks fantastic! Very colourful! I like the way you have used a different colour for each of the the earths layers.
Bad luck about eating the egg before doing the second half of the activity! I found it very funny to read that you had eaten the egg! Hope it was yummy! :P
Wow Mishai
ReplyDeleteHow did you create the parts of the earth? was it hard?
Thanks Cameron... I started with a little ball of red plasticine , then I wrapped it with a flattened orange piece of plasticine, then a layer of brown and last a blue and green layer.
