Students developed a simple model to illustrate how the movement o the mantle can predict the movements of the plates above the mantle this same phenomenon of that influences plate movement can also influence fault formation. The demonstrated this process by using an aquarium, with after in it, 2 foam blocks being places on top of the water, one names North American plate and one the Eurasians Plate, there's a heat source on the bottom.

Question

A: use material for the plate that heat can wrap or crack
B: use several sources of heat
C: use a fluid other than water
D: use a larger aquarium
