Jaesung Lee Geography 1 Professor Thomas Orf Chapter 14 Questions 1) The first evidence Wegner was able to find was the remarkable number of close affinities of geologic features on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He found the continental margins of the subequatorial portions of Africa and South America fit together with jigsaw-on-like precision. He also determined that the petrologic records on both sides of the Atlantic show many distributions- such as ancient coal deposits-that would

event‚ the director of the Montserrat Volcano Observatory‚ Paul Cole‚ stated that this eruption appeared to have ejected the most material in four years. He also estimated that ten to fifteen percent of the hardened lava in the dome of the volcano had collapsed. "When we’re looking at the lava dome now‚ there’s a large scoop out of it that’s missing‚" Cole said. Ten years prior to the event‚ scientists warned the British government that Soufriere Hills volcano still remained active and would erupt

patches” all over the surface (Duncan 89). Many generations used to think the dark spots were oceans. Those dark spots are called “maria” (Duncan 89). These spots are smooth‚ made of basalt from lava (Duncan 89). Billions of years ago when the meteor hit the moon‚ it “exposed molten rock beneath the crust”. Then lava would have flowed out‚ making the craters we see today (Duncan 89). Interesting fact: one of the most famous of the Maria’s was the “SEAT OF TRANKQUILLITY‚” the first moon landing was in this

1.North American Continent Boundary: The North American Continent Boundary is where North America used to meet the pacific Ocean. Until subcontinents (Example:Northern Cascade Subcontinent‚ Okanagan Subcontinent) latched onto our continent and made most of Washington. The North American Continent is also slowly moving west due to Pangea breaking apart. That means that the Pacific Ocean is slowly getting smaller and that the Atlantic Ocean is slowly getting bigger 2 to 3 inches per year. 2.Kootenay

an old friends’ house‚ Josh and I had dreamed to traveled extensively through the world together‚ from the canals of Venice and Amsterdam to the mountains of Austria and Italy‚ but Iceland was our main place of excitement to visit. The surrounding lava field resembled something you would only see you in your wildest dreams‚ with huge moss-covered rocks haphazardly compiled on the ground‚ and funnels of steam rising to meet low-lying gray clouds in the distance. It was a formidable and alien landscape
