I wonder what we are learning today?

Oh, that will be fun

I think we are learning about convection currents in the mantle

Ya

Are we learning about convection currents in the mantle?

Yes, Patrick we are

Cool!

Look at the volcano on the wall!

zzzzzz...

Ah! sorry.

There are 5 layers of the earth. The crust, upper mantel, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core. But today we are learning about the mantle.

Wake up Timmy!

The mantle is between the crust and outer core.

The red layer is the mantle, This is the thickest layer of them all.

This is confusing?

What are the colors for?

There are 2 regions in the mantle. They are the upper mantle and the lower mantle.

WOW COOL

Can I touch?

why not!?

Convection is the movement of hot, less dense fluid going up and cold, more dense fluid going down.

Just like a lava lamp! The light bulb heats up the wax to rise and when it cools, Itlowers.

NO TOUCH TIMMY!

SCIENCE IS THE BEST!

I think should fall a sleep

Heat within the Earth´s core can cause convection in the mantle, causing a volcano to erupt.
