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

Tectonic plates and ice cubes in a bowl of punch are both floating on a less dense material. Just like how ice cubes in punch float on the liquid because they are less dense than the liquid, tectonic plates "float" on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them due to their lower density compared to the underlying mantle. This floating behavior allows both ice cubes and tectonic plates to move and shift around.


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.


How are spheres and cubes similar?

They are both 3d demensional shapes.


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.


What evidence in the picture proves ice has less density than water?

the ice cubes are floating in the water


Any two cubes are similar?

I think is sugar cube and salt cube.


Does a cube has more than one kind of shape?

No. All cubes are similar.


Is ice cubes floating in water a compound?

Water is a compound, H2O. Liquid water, and Ice, as well as steam are 3 different states of the same compound, H2O. Although different states or the same compound, there is nothing remarkable about ice in water.


Is a hypercube a fractal?

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


Why would melting icebergs raise ocean levels since floating ice cubes do not raise water levels when they melt?

u got a point there dude
