A layered stack of about 8 towels is a great way to visualise a convergent-boundary of two tectonic plates.
Pushing at either end of the towel stack gives a basic simulation of the orogeny that produces mountain ranges, and shows the strata-deformation that occurs.
I hope I’m not the only one impressed by the model while disturbed by its inaccuracy of its limitations.
…should have put the mantle in rolls.
All the way to outer core. That’s some crusty crust.
But that part is true. We see these huge seismic anomalies at the core-mantle boundary that many think is a “slab graveyard” (e.g. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2020GC009396 ).
Also pieces of the planet that hit Earth to make the moon.
We do not know for certain.
Flat earth confirmed
If that blue towel is wet maybe you’ll find some peridotite.
What are you doing step-crust?
Slipping into those DMs (Deep Mantle)
Inner core should have the orange one. Too cold like that
