Hot spots seem to move over time because they are fixed in position under moving plates. 12. The islands that were formed by hot spots were: Iceland‚ Galapagos Island‚ and Hawaiian Islands. 13. The forces that drive plate movement are conduction and convection 14. Earthquakes are caused by rapid release of energy (seismic waves). 15. Surface waves and body waves differ because surface waves travel on earth’s surface‚ away from epicenter‚ but body waves travel towards earth’s interior spread outward

TMA 01 – Question 3 In this question I will identify the main contributions to the energy balance at the Earths surface and then state the conditions to which the GMST is in a steady state and would rise. Solar radiation‚ infrared radiation‚ atmospheric radiation‚ convection and latent heat are all energies that contribute to the balance of the Earth’s surface. This

3.1 CATHODE RAYS 3.1.1 Explain that cathode ray tubes allowed the manipulation of a stream of charged particles. DEFINITTIONS: * Cathode Ray Tube: is an evacuated tube which allows the unobstructed movement of cathode rays from a cathode to an anode. * Cathode Ray: Are negatively charged particles and can therefore be deflected. * This can be shown by 3 facts: * They leave –ve charge on the surfaces they strike * They are deflected by magnetic fields as predicted

The principle of radioactive dating is simple: The content of radioactive elements in a given material decreases with time‚ as the element gives off radiation (alpha‚ beta or gamma) and thereby changes its natureby turning it into a "daughter" element. By measuring the amount of a radioactive element and its daughter element (or elements) an estimate can be made about how much of the original amount of

NOVA: Secrets of the Sun 1. Solar storms take place in two stages. The first stage is the solar flare which “releases an outburst of x-rays.” (NOVA) The second stage is the coronal mass ejection‚ with is a “wave of billions of tons of electrically charged particles.” (NOVA) 2. Auroras can be very bright. In fact‚ in 1859 there were reports that miners in Colorado were awaken by an aurora in the middle of the night. Believing that dawn had arrived‚ they went to work early. 3. During the 1960’s

as well as the pit of the fruit as the core. Second‚ the outer core of the earth rotates. Absolutely this is factual. According to Dr. Pamela Gore‚ “extremely high temperatures in the liquid outer core drive a circular transfer of heat known as convection currents. The fluid core‚ with a radius of 2200 miles‚ is always in motion‚ spinning once a day at about 550 miles per hour at the outer edge of the equator. The exact motion of the outer core fluid is not fully understood. Some researchers have

The specifications of the resistors however depend on the conduction of the current. We would talk about some of the commonly used resistors. Carbon composition resistors are among the most commonly used resistors‚ which usually consist of a special cylindrical resistive element. The resistive element is usually
