Why did ideas change? -Wegener’s proposed the theory of Continental Drift It proposed that all continents move and that at one time

Vocabulary/Terms: Memory- the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information. importance- research on a memories extremes has helped us understand how memory works.  Working Memory- a newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on conscious‚ active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information‚ and of information retrieved from long-term memory. importance- better understanding of Atkinson and Shiffrin’s second stage‚ concentrates

Even though magma does rise and erupt at the spreading center‚ its volcanic process is not overly violent since the divergent plates are typically underwater. For this reason‚ the magma forms new oceanic crust in its eruption. Deep-sea trenches are a notorious bathymetric feature of convergent plate boundaries which often form at subduction zones‚ where one converging plate is moving beneath the other‚ hence their deep nature. As this plate descends further

Individual Perspective of Creativity: Personality Psychology Which are the personality traits of the creative individual‚ the attributes of genius and the peculiarities of the creative personality? Psychological theories have tried to explain both the creative process and the creative individual. In late fifties and early sixties‚ several researchers leaded by J.P Guilford‚ started to pay special attention to the specific components that shapes creativity in individuals‚ far from relating it

Plate Tectonics Ever since the beginning on time‚ Humans believed the ground is solid and immobile. But this is not true whatsoever. The Earth is every-changing and continually in motion. The stability of the Earth is not at all what we think it is. Thinking about the rotational axis of the Earth‚ and possibly of what the Earth may become at a certain point in time‚ has a great influence on understanding all aspects of living things‚ either in the past‚ present‚ or future. The study of Plate

of 0.86 and items include‚ “I answer my partner’s questions about me honestly and fully” and “I share my deepest thoughts with my partner even if there’s a chance he/she won’t understand them.” In terms of validity‚ this measure shows both convergent and divergent validity. The measure was positively correlated with

Elephants Growing Smaller or No Tusks at All As you can see from the title‚ the evolutionary topic I chose was Elephants. Now‚ it is not just the elephant its self I will be ranting on about‚ but the fact that‚ “In the last 150 years‚ the world’s elephant population has evolved much smaller tusks” (Chris et.al 2007). If not smaller tusks‚ then they have actually been growing no tusks whatsoever. Now why on earth would elephants start to evolve this way? Tusks are such an important aspect to an

called volcanology. Divergent plate boundaries: At the mid-oceanic ridges‚ two tectonic plates diverge from one another. New oceanic crust is being formed by hot molten rock slowly cooling and solidifying. The crust is very thin at mid-oceanic ridges due to the pull of the tectonic plates. The release of pressure due to the thinning of the crust leads to adiabatic expansion‚ and the partial melting of the mantle causing volcanism and creating new oceanic crust. Most divergent plate boundaries are

Repeat this several times to obtain a more reliable average flow rate. 7. Turn off the pump and drain the Venturi tube. Next group of students takes over. Loosen the couplings and reverse the Venturi tube so that the pressure taps are on the divergent duct downstream of the throat.
