Answer (1)
Answer:1. What do the egg, the pieces of shell, and the cracks in the shell represent?- Egg: Represents the Earth.- Shell: Represents the Earth's crust.- Cracks in the shell: Represent tectonic plates or faults.2. Illustrate a cross-section of the egg when cut into half.- Imagine an egg cut in half: - Shell: Thin outer layer (Earth's crust). - Egg white: Middle layer (Earth's mantle). - Yolk: Central core (Earth's core).3. Compare and contrast the cross section of the egg with that of the layers of the Earth.- Similarities: - Both have three layers. - The shell is like the Earth's crust; thin and solid. - The egg white is like the mantle; thicker and semi-fluid. - The yolk is like the Earth's core; dense and central.- Differences: - Earth's layers have varying states (solid and liquid), while the egg is all solid/liquid. - Earth's core has two parts (outer liquid and inner solid), unlike the yolk.4. Aside from eggs, what other materials do you think can be used to represent the structures of Earth? List at least five.- Avocado (skin, flesh, pit)- Peach (skin, flesh, pit)- Coconut (shell, meat, water)- Bowling ball (outer layer, core)- Layered chocolate truffle (outer layer, filling, center)
