Milo Experiment



The Milo Tectonic Experiment


Here we have the crust all made from cocoa.

Here we see it starting to crack
forming the continents.










The milk has melted the cocoa
and is going through the cocoa layer.























Here we see the “continents” shifting. This is happening because the process called Convection Currents, this is when the bottom liquid gets hotter than the top floats up since it’s less dense, then the cooler liquid sinks to the bottom, then this continues. This is why the continents(cocoa) are slowly moving.

Here is our version. We used Milo instead of cocoa, but instead of cracking it basically dissolved as you see this in the 2nd picture, and we used milk to represent “magma”. In the third picture you could say they could be countries and islands. I think since cocoa is crushed way finer than Milo the continents didn't form instead it crumbled. But at the end we could have used cocoa instead of Milo, but at least we got a nice warm drink at the end.
