Properties of Lithospheric plates

The new ELI today is 'Chocolate Plates; simulating the properties of a lithospheric plate'.


This ELI is a simulation of the mechanical properties of a lithospheric plate using chocolate bars - popular with students for obvious reasons!

Many activities related to Plate tectonics can be found on the ELI website.
