Why will the Alaskan Way Viaduct collapse? The Alaskan Way Viaduct will collapse because of an earthquake.The earthquake’s cause has to do with the layers of the Earth‚ mainly the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The result of the lab “Density Column” proved that since the layers of the Earth are stacked on top of each other‚ like the liquids in the “Density Column”‚ the layers must have different densities. Another lab that was done in class‚ “Density Cubes”‚ showed that density‚ or

Tanzania has many major landforms and sources of water that surround it. Some landforms include Mount Meru which is an active volcano‚ Mount Kilimanjaro which is a dormant volcano‚ and the Usambra and Pare mountain ranges. The Gregory Rift is a major landform because it’s the eastern section of the Great River valley. Ol Doinyo Lengai is another native major landform to Tanzania; it is the only volcano in the world to produce netrocarbonatite lava. Tanzania is bordered by the Indian Ocean and contains

Where do volcanoes and earthquakes occur? In geography it is important to be able to describe geographical patterns. The map below shows some of the strongest earthquakes and active volcanoes in the world. Can you notice a pattern in the distribution (spread) of volcanoes and earthquakes?

Precambrian time‚period of time that reaches out from around 4.6 billion years back to the start of the Cambrian Period‚ 541 million years prior. The Precambrian speaks to more than 80 percent of the aggregate geologic record. All life-structures were for quite some time expected to have begun in the Cambrian‚ and consequently all prior rocks were gathered together into the Precambrian. Albeit numerous fluctuated types of life developed and were safeguarded widely as fossil stays in Cambrian sedimentary

A metamorphic Rock can be formed by simply being under the earth’s surface‚ being exposed to extremely high temperatures and a huge amount of pressure from the layers of rock above. These rocks can be formed by tectonic processes‚ some which include‚ continental collisions (this is a process that causes friction‚ distortion and horizontal pressure). These rocks can also be formed when rock becomes heated rapidly by the intrusion of a hot molten rock‚ (called magma) and it comes from the earth’s interior

My sister and I climb aboard the bus heading for the school. Beatrice sites down immediately‚ she is not bothered that other people‚ some older then her‚ my have to stand. I give my seat to an older Candor man. Like the rest of the factions‚ he wears his customary faction dress-a black suit with a white tie. The rout the bas takes is broken and uneven. That goes for most of the roads‚ the closer to the center of the city the better they get though‚ we just have to put up with it. I can tell that
