it is made up of large plates beneath the crust and when the plates move‚ it changes the surface. There are four types of plate boundaries and they are divergent boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ transform boundaries‚ and plate boundary zones. 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

Alfred Wegener(1880-1930) was the first man to propose the theory gplate tectonics.h He had got a Ph.D in astronomy from the University of Berlin‚ but he was also interested in the other science field such as geophysics‚ meteorology‚ and climatology. He also contributed to meteorology by establishing to track air circulation using balloon. In 1911‚ he read a paper that listed identical fossils of plants and animals found on opposite side of the Atlantic‚ and he looked for more of such organisms

AEOLIAN LANDFORMS * Aeolian landforms (also spelled as eolian or æolian) are features of the Earth’s surface produced by either the erosive or constructive action of the wind. * This process is not unique to earth‚ and it has been observed and studied on other planets‚ including Mars. * The word derives from Æolus‚ the Greek god of the winds‚ and the son of Hellen and the nymph Orseis. * Aeolian processes pertain to wind activity in the study of geology and weather‚ and specifically

Plate Tectonics Press Release GLG.101 August 16‚ 2013 Plate Tectonics Press Release Natural destroys are a part of the nature of the world. There are many different kinds of natural destroys hurricanes‚ tornados‚ tropical storms‚ and earthquakes. The great state of California is no stranger to its part of natural destroyers. Many cities in the state have had its share having earthquakes. Earthquakes are produced by abrupt motion along a fault when friction that resists such motion is overcome

ago planet Earth did not look like it does today‚ it was covered in lava and volcanoes. There was no possible way that life could exist on the planet. However‚ eventually the planet started cooling down; huge amounts of steam rose causing clouds. Then the clouds rained. One thousand years of continuous raining caused oceans which made earth like it is today. Planet Earth‚ also known as the blue planet‚ has oceans covering three quarters of the Earth’s surface. Oceans have a system to try and keep
