Mantle Convection Cell (Toy)
High-Prandtl-number mantle convection cartoon: Rayleigh-number vigor, thermal boundary layers, hot upwelling, and a cold subducting slab in one viscous cell.
Carbon Cycle (4-Box Model)
Atmosphere, ocean mixed layer, deep ocean, and land biosphere exchange linearly; add fossil emissions or GtC pulses and watch inventory split vs a toy airborne fraction.
Mid-Ocean Ridge: Magnetic Stripes
Symmetric stripes accrete at a spreading center as polarity flips — a 2D cartoon of Vine–Matthews–Morley marine magnetic anomalies.
Glacier Flow 1D (Glen’s Law)
Shallow-ice thickness H(x,t) on a tilted bed: nonlinear flux q ∝ H^{n+2}|∂s/∂x|^{n−1}∂s/∂x plus accumulation; τ_b ≈ ρgH sinα readout.
River Meandering (Toy)
Pinned centerline y(x,t): toy migration ∂y/∂t ≈ k₁ ∂κ/∂s + λ y_xx with κ ≈ y_xx — bend sharpening cartoon, not full sediment hydraulics.
Ekman Spiral in the Ocean
Wind stress, Coriolis f, eddy viscosity A_z: classical Ekman spiral of horizontal velocity with depth; deflection angle.
