causes convection cycles‚ which drive plate tectonics. Hot mantle rises and undergoes decompression melt due to change in pressure. New oceanic crust is created in a characteristic sequence. Studies of Ophiolites show a sequence of sediment‚ pillow basalts‚ sheeted dikes‚ and gabbro being formed as hot mantle rises and creates new crust at ridges. The theory of plate tectonics is greatly supported by discoveries made at mid-oceanic ridges. INTRODUCTION When one looks across the massive oceans

and are formed under various degrees of differential stress caused by the tectonic forces and plate motions in combination with various settings of high pressures and temperatures. Basalt metamorphosed at low temperatures will result in crystals of green-schist. At higher temperatures and pressures the same basalt will result in an amphibolite‚which is a rock composed of hornblende‚ plagioclase feldspar‚ and possibly garnet. Metamorhic facies refer to classifications scientists gave to various

The advantages of this islands are resources(Many birds to eat‚ lots of seafood)‚ however‚ Henderson did not have fresh water‚ no basalt for tools‚ no beaches‚ and small trees. The next agenda is about trading. These three island was famous in trading because some might have some substances that other do not have‚ so they can trade their goods‚ and also they do not care about times

geophysical hazards. The movement of plates due to convection currents results in a variety of types of plate boundary‚ each of which gives rise to particular types of hazards. Constructive boundaries occur where two plates are moving apart. Basalt rises to the surface and forms new crust. The majority of constructive zones occur under the oceans‚ e.g. the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The constructive boundaries are associated with numerous shallow focused‚ low magnitude earthquakes‚ which due to their
