The document discusses heat transfer through analogies to melting ice cream and compressing clothes. It explains how heat is transferred from liquid rock to surrounding crust as the rock solidifies, similar to hot fudge melting ice cream. It also likens compressing clothes to the collision of tectonic plates, with the applied pressure representing the forces between colliding plates.

Observe the illustrations below and relate these to the lesson.
A melting ice cream
It loses its heat to the surrounding crust as the
liquid rock solidifies. This transfer of heat can melt the surrounding rock (the ice cream) into magma, much like hot fudge being poured over cold ice cream. Heat transfer often occurs at convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates collapse together.
Compressing clothes in the luggage
Clothes serves as the tectonic plates of earth surface
and the pressure applied by the person to the clothes is symbolizing the collision of those plates
