The cornstarch mixture, often referred to as oobleck, behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid, where it can act as both a solid and a liquid depending on the stress applied to it. Similarly, the asthenosphere, a layer of the Earth's mantle, exhibits plasticity and can flow over geological timescales when subjected to pressure and heat. Both substances can resist deformation under certain conditions but can also flow or change shape when stressed, demonstrating their unique mechanical properties. This analogy highlights the dynamic nature of both the cornstarch mixture and the asthenosphere in response to external forces.

Is cornstarch a mixture or compound?
cornstarch is a compound element.
Why is cornstarch and water an emulsion?
An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids. Cornstarch is a solid and this mixture is a suspension.

Can you separate the cornstarch from water without using filter paper?
Yes, you can separate cornstarch from water by letting the mixture sit until the cornstarch settles to the bottom, then carefully pouring off the water. You could also use centrifugation to separate the cornstarch by spinning the mixture at high speed to force the cornstarch to the bottom of the container.
How can I make bouncy balls using borax and cornstarch?
To make bouncy balls using borax and cornstarch, mix equal parts of warm water and cornstarch in a bowl. In a separate container, mix warm water with borax until dissolved. Slowly pour the borax mixture into the cornstarch mixture while stirring. Shape the mixture into balls and let them dry for a day.

What is quick sand and how is it similar to cornstarch and water?
Quicksand is a bed of loose sand mixed with water forming a soft shifting mass that yeilds to pressure and tends to engulf any object resting on its surface. It is similar to cornstarch and water because you can sink in it but it is thick and it is a solid.
What happends when mixing Iodine and cornstarch?
the mixture turns black
Will cornstarch dissolve in water?
Yes, cornstarch can dissolve in water to form a mixture called a suspension. When stirred, the cornstarch particles disperse in the water but do not fully dissolve like sugar or salt would.
