How are tectonic plates like ice cubes in a bowl of punch?

buy how they are formed


List three ways in which tectonic plates floating on the asthenosphere are similar to ice cubes filling a punch bowl?

1. The ice represents the lithosphere. It "floats" on the punch as it is of lower density and therefore buoyant. 2. The ice is a brittle solid - this mechanical behaviour is similar to that displayed by lithospheric plates. 3. The punch behaves as a liquid and so can convect aiding the movement of the ice. To a certain extent so to does the asthenosphere (in actual fact, the asthenosphere is a highly ductile solid however it convects on a geological time-scale) .


How the ratio of volume is related to ratio of sides of similar cubes?

The ratio of volumes is directly proportional to the cube of the ratio of their sides. And, incidentally, all cubes are similar.


Is it possible for 2 cubes to have the same volume and the same surface area?

Yes they would have to be similar cubes.

Why doesn't ice float?

Ice does float, but if you put in multiple ice cubes, the ice cubes underneath can't push up over and on top, so it looks like they're floating in the middle of the glass.

No. All cubes are similar.

yes i think so because a fractal is an object that is self-similar all squares are similar; so are all cubes
