Fuuuuuck the flat earthers were correct and the earth looks delicious.

I want some of that sweet sweet magma...

I've been thinking a bit about this lately: creative use of everyday items to demonstrate natural phenomena might be an indicator of high intelligence.

Tbh it’s more that science teachers are broke lol - one of the most inspirational/effective/but also probably violated the Geneva convention training program taught me explicitly - being a teacher means there is no thirty minute lunch and the best lessons are made with shit you get from the dumpsters at Home Depot.

I feel like the best analogy for this type of geology is a frozen lake. The ice moves and creates mountains and... um cracks. Lucky we don't get that on earth but it's still a nice analogy

We do get cracks. They're the divergent plate boundaries. Water and ice just flow on time scales far too dissimilar to make an appropriate rate model at the cracks.

I wonder if you could make a decent model of plate tectonics with wax. Have a pan of wax heated from below, deep enough that the top is cool enough to be solid.

Ooh, interesting! Perhaps if you cooled the top and heated the bottom quickly enough? The biggest problem is that the convective drag needs to be high enough to cause actual subduction. In my Earth Science class, I just add mica powder to water, heat it from below, and show them Rayleigh-Benard convection cells.

It's a little difficult to see the oreo cookie wafer on the dark background. I think it would work better with a white background. Something like milk.

Are these double stuffed or has shrinkflation really hit Oreos that hard?

I did this a lot with poptarts as a kid. I'm sure I would still do it, but I hate poptarts now.
