marinated in the juice of an acidic fruit‚ salt‚ and seasonings. Ceviche is an old tradition in South America‚ dating back to the earliest inhabitants. According to common wisdom‚ the lime juice “cooks” the fish partially or completely depending on how long it is marinated. The citric acid in the lime juice does alter the structure of the proteins in the fish‚ making the fish more opaque and firm. Ceviche is usually made with sea bass or flounder‚ you can also use shellfish or just vegetables. Other

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 development of the theory of plate tectonics from Continental Drift to the present The theory of continental drift first came to be in 1915 when Alfred Wegener first proposed his belief that 300 billion years ago there was one single supercontinent‚ Pangaea. At the time‚ most did not believe it was true as he had no proof or idea of how the masses of land would move. However‚ new evidence was put forward over time that fit with Wegener’s beliefs. The first key piece of evidence is the shape

The San Andreas Fault and its role in Plate Tectonics and Earthquake Prediction The San Andreas Fault is one of the most widely studied faults in the world. Scientists use an array of methods in collecting data and providing analysis of fault characteristics both past and present. Presently there are many differing hypothesis and models used to describe crustal movements and deformation within the Pacific and North American plate boundary. Historical earthquakes along this fault have proven to be

The Earth - it’s an intricate formation of land and sea‚ rock and metal‚ but how can the movements of the continents be explained‚ or how do deep ocean trenches affect us? The three main theories that explain how these things work are sea-floor spreading‚ continental drift‚ and plate tectonics. These are the theories that give us explanation as to why the continents move‚ how plate tectonics work‚ etc. These theories were formed by different scientists and with different forms of evidence‚ some scientists

In the past 100 years‚ the human race has developed tremendously. The use of chemicals‚ such as gasoline are bringing pollution to the earth atmosphere. This is making the temperatures higher. And it’s affecting the planet in many ways. Antarctica‚ the world greatest freezer is melting. And as it turns out the ocean levels

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

The Himalayan Mountain is the longest and highest range of mountain compared to all the other mountain systems of the world (Sharma). The Himalayan Mountain range is separated into 3 sectors from east to west‚ The Great Himalaya‚ The Middle Himalaya‚ and the Outer Himalaya (Anonymous). The Himalayas also has a high diversity of flora and fauna and the mountains acts a
