Lab Work - Foxy - Speed of seismic waves as a function of temperature

Extract from Earth Science Syllabus for 9th grade:
Design an analog model and carry out measurements using computer-assisted experimental devices for the propagation of waves through the same material, but at different temperatures to understand the difference between the lithosphere and asthenosphere.

Introduction:
With the 'Seismic and Temperature' model, it is possible to simply demonstrate the influence of temperature on waves for a ductile material.
