I did this in 7th grade Earth Science, only i used a balloon a majic marker and Xs and Os and my lungs. My teacher said that's impossible, i said no not really. If you take into account a iron core that molts ( sheeds it slag off ) which rises towards the crust and interacting with convection currents. Needless to say, we butted heads the whole year. She died about a year after i graduated, brain tumor. Great vid sav :flop:
