eroded from the land and was gradually carried to the sea floor. Thousands of feet of carbonate‚ sand‚ and finer grained material loaded onto the submerged continental margin. During the Mississippian the inactive tectonics became active convergent boundaries. The southeast coast of America was now on a collision course with a smaller plate once connected to Africa and South America‚ known as the Caribbean plate. For years and years to come following the convergent plate’s activities; thrust faults and

Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics Theory (Part 1a) Introduction: The Beginning of the “Continental Drift Theory” In the middle of the eighteenth century‚ James Hutton proposed a theory‚ uniformitarianism; “the present is the key to the past”. It held that processes such as geologic forces- gradual and catastrophic-occurring in the present were the same that operated in the past. (Matt Rosenberg‚ 2004) This theory coincides with the theory of Continental Drift that was first proposed by Abraham

Earthquakes and Subduction Zones Lab Amy Paret Mrs. Igo 9th Grade Periods 3 and 4 Even Date: 2/14/13 Background Research: This lab uses earthquake data to construct profiles of two convergent boundaries: the Tonga Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench. Where two tectonic plates converge‚ if one or both of the plates is an oceanic lithosphere‚ a subduction zone will form. When crust is formed at a mid-ocean ridge‚ it is hot and buoyant meaning it has a low density. As it spreads away from the ridge and

any of the seven players cross the lobby without touching the raider he will be declared as "out". The raider is sent off the field if: • the raider takes a breath before returning. • the raider crosses a boundary line. • a part of the raider’s body touches the ground outside the boundary (except during a struggle with an opposing team member). Each time when a player is "out"‚ the opposing team earns a point. A team scores a bonus of two points‚ called a "lona"‚ if the entire opposing team is

Spheres are known to have a distinct critical Reynolds number above which the flow on the upstream face of the sphere is fully turbulent causing the drag coefficient to drop dramatically. This is because the turbulent boundary layer results in separation further aft than a laminar boundary layer‚ thus producing a smaller wake. The critical Reynolds number for the three spheres was determined by examining the measured drag coefficient CDp as a function of Reynolds number. To understand the quality of

begin to wonder why such places as California or Japan have so many earthquakes‚ whereas the north eastern United States or Western Europe have so few. The fact is that earthquakes occur along belts and the vast majority of these belts lie on the boundaries of the earth’s tectonic plates. The same is true of volcanoes and locations known for earthquakes‚ such as the Philippines‚ have many volcanoes.The Hawaiian Islands are located near the centre of the Pacific Plate. These islands of Hawaii experience

Convergent boundaries are where the crust is broken‚ and one plate goes over it‚ divergent boundaries is where new plates are created while the plates pull away‚ transform boundaries is where the crust may be produced or more‚ plate boundary zones are boundaries that aren’t well explained and the effects on the rock isn’t
