divergent plates
n=1
a: Divergent plates ~
b: a jelly Doughnut pulled apart
What: "Grab a jelly Doughnut from both ends. Pull outward and see what happens. The jelly in the inside will ooze out. This is somewhat like the tectonic plates on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. As they pull away from each other, magma from the depths of the earth will ooze out."You may replace Doughnut with a Twinky, or any other fruit filled danish to get the idea across.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
