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

Another key part of the plate techtonics theory is how the plates move. Despite seismic action showing that the movement must be present as it is caused by the friction this does not help when determining how the plates move. This relies on the convection currents which occurs in the mantle and neither seismic nor volcanic activity will help to prove this theory. I feel that despite the activity of both seismic and volcanic being caused by the movement of the plates they can not be usd to prove

In this lab‚ I calculated the heat of combustion of paraffin (candle wax) by burning a candle and holding a calorimeter (a soda can) filled with 98.7 mL of water above the flame. The heat released by the candle was absorbed by the water in the can. It was important to place the metal chimney around the candle so that minimal amounts of heat would escape; having too much heat lost to the atmosphere would cause extra error in the calculations. The assumption made was that all heat released from the

the limestone is over 200 meters thick. Magma within the earths mantle was heated near the core. This made the magma less dense and so it rose nearer to the earths crust. As it moved along the crust‚ friction caused the plates to move. These convection currents beneath the earths surface forced the Australian plate to collide with the Pacific plate. Along this plate boundary‚ the pacific plate was being subducted underneath the Australian plate- which held the North Island of New Zealand. This

The Dynamic Crust‚ Earthquakes and the Earth’s Interior Why is the Earth’s crust described as being dynamic? Crust- solid rock outer zone of Earth The crust is part of the lithosphere. The Earth’s crust is dynamic which means constantly changing. Earthquakes Volcanoes Crustal movements along fault zones Other evidence indicates that parts of the Earth’s crust have been moving to different locations for billions of years. Describe pieces of evidence that suggest minor changes in the Earth’s

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
