approximately 150 miles southward crossing five state lines. West coast fault zones are called transform faults in contrast‚ the New Madrid fault is called an intraplate zone. This means that there is a weak spot in the middle of the North American Plate with a series of faults in the Earth’s crust and is called the Reelfoot Rift‚ named after Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee‚ that was formed during the quake‚ (The Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture). It wasn’t until 1909 that seismographs

The Earth is always forming and releasing pressure in different ways. Sometimes the Earth’s mantle builds up so much pressure that it starts to shift tectonic plates‚ and due to this we can see changes on our surface as well. We experience big changes like volcanoes‚ earthquakes‚ trembles‚ and continental drift‚ but a few minor things happen as well. Some of these minor results can include geysers and fumaroles. A fumarole is a very important formation that is needed to release pressure from deep

“Eat some more food.” Everyone surrounding me was telling me to eat more and more. Aunties‚ uncles‚ and cousins that I never even knew I had were telling me to eat. Even though I was already full‚ I picked up another plate and started to eat again. Every time I go to a Filipino party‚ I find myself eating more and more. Growing up Filipino‚ I have always been accustomed to going to a big Filipino family party at least once a month. Usually‚ my family would all get together at an auntie or uncles

faulting‚ a sudden lateral or vertical movement of rock along a rupture (break) surface. Here’s the longer answer: The surface of the Earth is in continuous slow motion. This is plate tectonics--the motion of immense rigid plates at the surface of the Earth in response to flow of rock within the Earth. The plates cover the entire surface of the globe. Since they are all moving they rub against each other in some places (like the San Andreas Fault in California)‚ sink beneath each other in others

depending on its age‚ and is broken into plates‚ known as the tectonic plates. Within the lithosphere is the crust as a portion of the upper mantle. The crust is the outer most portion of the earth and takes up less than 1% than the total volume of the earth. It is commonly compared to the skin of an apple‚ whereas the apple represents the earth. The temperature of the crust varies from the air on top‚ to upward of 1600 at the deepest parts. The tectonic plates are part of the crust of the earth‚ moving
