Continental Drift‚ Plate Tectonics‚ The North American Plate The experts and scientists have theories on how the the world’s plates move and how earthquakes occur. These theories on how the world’s plate move is called continental drift and the theory on how earthquakes occur is called plate tectonics. They also have a lot of information on the North American Plate and in which direction it is moving and information like that. Now let me tell you more about each of these topics. Continental

Mid-Atlantic Ridge 192 million years ago. I got this answer because I know that the movement of the seafloor is about 1.25 cm per year. I converted 2‚400 km in to 240‚000‚000 cm. Then I divided 240‚000‚000 by 1.25‚ and I got 192 million years. 3. How could you use this method to reconstruct Pangaea? I could use this method to reconstruct Pangaea. I could do this by calculating the distance of each of the continents from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Then I could convert the distance to cm‚ and divide that distance

The Movement of Plate Tectonics Brandon Womac Plate tectonics have played a major role in the history of the Earth. All seven continents are where they are today due to the movement of plate tectonics. These seven continents were one big supercontinent called “Pangea” about 200 million years ago before breaking apart. The three different types of plate boundaries are convergent‚ divergent‚ and transform. These plate boundaries form due to the earth’s outer shell called the lithosphere having multiple

Examination of Bacterial Plates Objective: 1. To examine bacteria pigmentation‚ colony‚ margin characteristics‚ elevation properties‚ broth characteristics and agar stroke properties. 2. To examine bacteria growth characteristics on different culture media. Introduction: Bacterial species can sometimes be identified on the basis of how they appear on or in the different media. The pigmentation‚ size and shape of bacterial colonies as they grow on and in agar plates can provide identifying

“EVALUATE HOW PLATE TECTONICS THEORY HELPS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISTRIBUTON OF SEISMIC AND VOLCANIC EVENTS” In this essay I am going to look in detail at plate tectonic theory and how it can be used to explain seismic and volcanic events worldwide. However‚ I will also look at other potential causes of these events‚ and some evidence that does not follow the theory that all these events are caused by plate boundaries. I am going to look at a range of case studies from differing scales

How does the plate tectonics theory help explain the existence of fossilized marine life in rocks atop the Ural Mountains? Be sure to include a description of the specific process(es).’ Continental Collisions would be a possibility as this would birth mountain building. It is a theory that Europe and Asia collided millions of years ago. Marine life would have existed in the ocean basin between the land masses. As the continents approached‚ waters would recede from between them through subduction
