Earth and Life Science, Week 3

1. The document describes activities on identifying agents of erosion from pictures and a chocolate mantle convection activity to demonstrate heat transfer in the Earth's mantle. 2. The chocolate mantle convection activity shows convection with rising and falling chocolate powder mounds, radiation through emitted gas, and conduction along the rim of the pan. 3. A follow up activity involves identifying true/false statements about concepts like decompression melting, convection, conduction, and sources of the Earth's internal heat.

Activity 1: LET’S BRING THE PAST BACK!


Direction: Identify the agents of erosion of each picture that create the
following surface features. Write your answer in the space provided.

Wind

Running water, wind, gravity


Wind, ocean or sea waves

Running water
Glacier, wind

Activity 2: Chocolate Mantle Convection Activity

Direction: Read the following key instructions in each of the image and
answer the following questions below about how heat works in the mantle.
A.Convection is shown by the presence of mounds and cracks in
between the mounds. Radiation is illustrated by the emitted gas
directly above the heat source. Conduction is evidenced by the
submerging chocolate powder along the rims of the pan.

B.
The chocolate powder starts to rise, forming a conical shape then
cracks and emits gas. Slowly, the chocolate powder around it starts to
subside and get wet. The heat source is directly beneath this zone so
the hotter water is rising in that area. But since the chocolate powder
traps the water, the hot water starts to move laterally under the
chocolate powder, forming the conical shape, before it manages to
create a crater where the water is released as gas.

C.

The water represents the asthenosphere, the chocolate powder


represents the lithosphere and the candles represent heat sources.
Magma is formed directly above the heat sources due to relatively
higher temperature. Through convection, heat is transferred to other
places. And since there are several heat sources, several convection
cells develop. Where the colder portions of two convection cells meet,
cracks form because the materials are being pulled downwards by the
subsiding colder water. These zones represent subduction zones.

Activity 3: TRUE TO YOU!


Direction: Read each statement. Write the word True on the blank if
the statement is correct and False if not correct.

__False___1. Decompression melting is melting due to increase in


pressure.
__True___2. Heat transfer by means of directly moving hot matter to a
cooler region is called
convection.
__True___3. Conduction is the transfer of heat from one object to
another by direct contact.
___False__4. Transmission of heat into the surrounding space is called
melting.
__True___5. Heat from accretion and bombardment of the Earth
during the early stages of
formation is one source of Earth’s internal heat.
__False___6. Convection occurs not in the mantle, but in between the
core and mantle.
__True___7. Melting as a result of the addition of volatiles is called flux
melting.
__True___8. Melting resulting from heat transfer from rising magma is
called heat transfer melting.
__False___9. Lithosphere is hotter than mantle and asthenosphere.
__True___10. The processes that happen inside the Earth are called
endogenic processes.
