Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus‚ from the Greek: τεκτονικός "pertaining to building")[1] is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere. The model builds on the concepts of continental drift‚ developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted the theory after the concepts of seafloor spreading were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. On

Plate boundaries Plate Boundaries is a theory of the global movement over a period of time. There are three main types of plate boundaries they are‚ transform boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ and divergent boundaries. Transform boundaries are where two plates are sliding past each other. These areas are also known as faults. Most transform boundaries are found on the ocean floor‚ a few however are found on land. Since these boundaries do not crunch together they to not tear or break

Plate tectonics Intro: The word tectonic represents the meaning of plates and boundaries. As an example of activity is an earthquake‚ which is caused by two plates like the Eurasian and pacific plate pushing towards each other‚ pushing the land upwards causing a mountain as well as an earthquake. The plates are pieces of land that make up the outer crust‚ these could move together‚ move apart or move alongside each other resulting in mountains‚ volcanoes and earthquakes‚ this happens deep

Microbiology Instructor: Dirk VandePol Date: 6/21/2013 Streak Plate Isolation for Obtaining Pure Culture 1. When an agar plate is inoculated‚ why is the loop sterilized after the initial inoculation in put on? Ans: We use agar plate to inoculate microbes by zipping the loop on the agar several times. We streak on the agar plate four time‚ propose is to isolate the unknown bacteria. Therefore‚ the first time to streak on the plate‚ there are million of bacteria on the loop. For that reason‚

DIFFERENT TYPES OF AGAR Mac Conkey‘s Agar plate MacConkey (also McConkey) agar is a culture medium designed to grow Gram-negative bacteria and stain them for lactose fermentation. It contains bile salts (to inhibit most Grampositive bacteria‚ except Enterococcus and some species of Staphylococcus)‚ crystal violet dye (which also inhibits certain Gram-positive bacteria)‚ neutral red dye (which stains microbes fermenting lactose)‚ lactose and peptone.

Introduction Wireless network is indicated to a telecommunication network whose interconnections between nodes are implemented without the use of wires‚ such a computer network. Nowadays‚ wireless network has become the important thing in telecommunication. This sort of technology has been used for over a century and remains synonymous with radio. In 19th century‚ Guglielmo Marconi invented a radio and made his made his mark in the world of wireless technology. At that moment‚ Marconi was about

Introduction Wireless is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves (rather than some form of wire) carry the signal over part or the entire communication path. The first wireless transmitters went on the air in the early 20th century using radiotelegraphy (Morse code). Later‚ as modulation made it possible to transmit voices and music via wireless‚ the medium came to be called "radio." With the advent of television‚ fax‚ data communication‚ and the effective use of

CHAPTER-1-INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION TO WIRELESS PC COMMUNICATION In many situations a communication link between two devices becomes essential. This communication can be wired or wireless. If two devices are close to each other a wired link is preferred. However in many situations two devices are reasonably far apart. In that case a wireless link is preferred. One of the popular wireless communication technologies is RF communication that is being used in our project. The HT12E and HT12D
