How is the behavior of food coloring in the cool and heated water different? What caused the differences in their behavior?
The food coloring in cool water stayed at the bottom. In heated water, it rose to the top, moved to the sides, and then sank. Heating and cooling changed the water’s density: warmer, less dense water rose, while cooler, denser water sank, creating convection currents.

How did the lab activities help you answer the lesson question: What effect does plate movement have on geologic events and structures at Earth’s surface? What did you learn from conducting this lab?
I learned that convection currents move Earth’s plates and that plate interactions shape the surface and cause geologic events. At divergent boundaries, new crust can form; at convergent boundaries, mountains, volcanoes, and trenches can form; and at transform boundaries, earthquakes may occur.
