Abstract Energy is an important part of our everyday lives. Energy can come in many different types‚ and forms it can be used for many different purposes. Energy has many different usages and can be converted from one form of usage to another form of usage depending on what the need is. One form of energy conversion is the use of food to supply people’s bodies with energy. Another form of energy is how coal is converted into electricity. Fuel is another form of energy that can be used

The initial theory of continental drift was put forward by a German meteorologist Alfred Wegener in 1915. This theory did not seem credible until it was connected with the plate tectonic theory in the mid 1960’s. The Tectonic plate theory had an advantage over previous predictions as it could be supported by observed occurrences. One such thing that supports these two theories is that seen from space the continents look as if they might once have been joined together. This possible idea was then

The Structure of the Earth and Plate Tectonics Structure of the Earth Mantle • The Earth is made up of 3 main layers: Outer core Inner core – Core – Mantle – Crust Crust The Crust • This is where we live! • The Earth’s crust is made of: Continental Crust Oceanic Crust - thick (10-70km) - buoyant (less dense than oceanic crust) - mostly old - thin (~7 km) - dense (sinks under continental crust) - young How do we know what the Earth is made of? • Geophysical surveys: seismic‚ gravity‚

Plate Tectonics Paper Michelle Tillman GLG/220 1/12/15 Jessica Terrien Dunn First and most important hazard is the ground actually shaking. This causes building to be damaged or the ground/foundation to settle different than it was. If the soil is liquefied then the building can actually sink into the ground. This can make the buildings also tip and lean. Los Angeles was built on a myriad of transform faults that include Santa Monica fault‚ the San Fernando fault‚ and Northridge/Santa Barbara fault

Week 9 Review Questions 1. Oil production in the United States satisfies only half of the country’s needs; the rest is imported. If imports were cut off‚ what changes would you expect to occur in your lifestyle? If oil imports were cut off‚ the changes to my lifestyle and to the United States would be devastating. Gasoline prices would skyrocket. This would force me and others to curtail our driving. I might have to rely on public transportation; however‚ the cost of said transportation would

1. Each religion has many different views on life. For example Buddhism teaches us that life brings on constant changes and someone can always find a way to make him or herself or a situation better. It shows to view everything in a positive way rather than negative. Hinduism is one of the largest religion practiced today‚ though unlike Buddhism and Taoism‚ Hinduism believe in multiple God and each God teaches a different view. Hinduism believes in reincarnation‚ which is why they don’t kill cows

June 2011 plate tectonics and associated hazards Comment on the extent to which the features shown in the image support the theory of plate tectonics. To begin with we can see that many of the landmasses appear as separated jigsaw pieces with their complementary shaped coastlines. One example of this is how the North Western coastline of Africa could quite easily ‘slot into’ the North Eastern Coastline of America. This suggests that in the history of the Earth‚ these two land masses were once connected

spreading explain the movement of tectonic plates?! - Sea floor spreading in movement of tectonic plates is called divergent‚ the separation of two plate. This can be proved because magma comes out from the fault of ridge which means plate has open and it’s realising the magma. Other reason‚ if diverging is happening at one point‚ that means converging is happening at other end of plate‚ for example Himalayan mountain range at India and Nepal (converging) and other side of plate that contains India is having
