Prof. Wayne MacKenzie SCIN 137 22 February 2015 1. The pressure announced on last night’s television weather broadcast was 29.92. Explain how this was measured and give the units. Would this be considered an unusually large or low pressure value? a. 29.92 is the standard sea level pressure‚ identified by inches of Mercury in a barometer‚ and identifies the pressure over an area using the millibar. This would not be considered a large/low pressure measurement. 2. If the earth did not rotate‚ how

Geography Assignment: Earthquake Part A: 1. Earthquakes are the sudden and rapid shaking of the earth. The collision of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions are what cause earthquakes. 2. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and by volcanoes. The Earth’s crust is made up of plates which can freely slide across the mantle. When these plates collide or slide past with other plates‚ earthquakes occur. After the main earthquake‚ an aftershock may occur as the rock masses

Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18‚ 1980. The volcano‚ located in southwestern Washington‚ used to be a beautiful symmetrical cone about 9‚600 feet (3‚000 meters) above sea level. The eruption‚ which removed the upper 1‚300 feet (396 meters) of the summit‚ left a horseshoe-shaped crater and a barren wasteland.

Depositional landforms are made when particles are deposited somewhere else. In my opinion I think that river landforms can be classified

The coastal zone is one of the most densely populated areas globally because of favourable locational factors‚ yet it is an area of immense environmental value. This topic allows students to carry out detailed studies of contrasting coastal environments at a local/ small scale‚ exploring competing and conflicting land uses‚ and evaluating the pressures created by development. It considers how vulnerable and valuable coastlines face a growing physical risk from rapid coastal erosion and coastal
