Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction.

Ventricles are bigger in size compared to other chambers in the heart. Ventricles usually pump blood to a larger distance. When they contract, they exert a lot of force or pressure producing larger waves reflected on the Oscilloscope.

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. 

I’m guessing probably a
