Question

Compare the heating in the mantle to a cooking pot of soup.

Answer 1

Answer/Explanation:

Compare the heating in the mantle to a cooking pot of soup. The convection currents in the mantle are very similar to cooking a pot of soup. When a pot of soup is placed on a stove, the soup at the bottom of the pot is heated. As the soup warms up, it rises to the top of the pot.

Answer 2

The heating of the mantle could be compared to cooking a pot of soup by taking this situation into consideration:

When a soup gets heated, it actually spreads inside the pot and then cools down as the heat gets removed. Similarly, the mantle has this convection currents that when it gets heated, this current causes the plates to move and cools down after. The plate tectonics could be similarly explained using this phenomenon.
