The vast majority of people who live in the United States live in regions at risk of coastal flooding, sea level rise, drought, forest fires, and many other climate risks. However, only 43% of adults in the United States believe that global warming will harm them personally. When it comes to climate action, why do you think it is important that all people recognize that global warming will harm them personally?​

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust.
