While also being tested on a well-plate and hot-plate, it still remained the same color. Therefore, the blended mixture does not contain any organic substances such as protein. We began our experiment by gathering our materials and began to test the change in the blended mixture by putting a small amount in well…

that causes the plates to move is called convection, a process in which hot magma rises toward the surface of the plates and as it cools, spreads and new magma from the bottom, rises to the surface as the cooling magma descends, “Just like a pot boiling on a stove” (Van der Elst). Convection is the cause of the movement of the plates, and there are three different types of boundary movements. Firstly, converging movement, which is a destructive process where the plates collide; secondly,…
