When researching similar projects the scientists found a project where they tested the effect of three different temperatures of water on Alka-Seltzer tablets. In the experiment they first tested how long an Alka-Seltzer tablet would dissolve in cold water ( 9 degrees) then repeated it two more times in order to calculate a mean. Then using a hot plate to heat the water‚ they tested another tablet in the hot water (51 degrees) to see how long it would take to dissolve and again did it two more times

the name I am sure that you know what each did but if you did not I will tell you the two first creators were only fire and water in other words the Pyros and Aquas‚ when the two clashed from the steam came the Aerons and from the hardened lava and magma came the Terras after centuries of fighting they made piece and live in harmony making the world how they wanted and then Something came. It was life a strange thing they thought it was so small but had as much power as all of them put together but

Minerals stable in a narrow range of temperatures and pressures are called index minerals. 9. Quartzite is formed by metamorphism of relatively pure quartz sandstone‚ a type of sedimentary rock. 10. Contact metamorphism takes place where rocks are heated by close contact with magma. B. Match the terms

century Since 2001 it has seen an eruption every year Physical reasons for the event: Mt Etna is a composite volcano created from the subduction of the African plate beneath the Eurasian plate; deformation of the plates associated with subduction allows magma to rise to the surface through weaknesses in the crust. A number of theories have been proposed to explain Etna’s location and eruptive history‚ including rifting processes‚ a hot spot‚ and intersection of structural breaks in the crust. Scientists

Early Earth Timeline •About 5.5-6 billion years ago (BYA)‚ the solar nebula begins to collapse •About 4.6 BYA‚ Sun begins fusion •About 4.5-4.56 BYA‚ Proto-Earth formed from planetesimals. •4.44+ BYA‚ Earth-Moon formed by giant impact. Earth melts‚ magma occurs. •4.2 BYA‚ Earth was completely differentiated. •4 BYA‚ earliest oceans formed‚ thick atmosphere exists •3.8 BYA‚ life develops •2.5-3 BYA‚ photosynthesis leads to O2 in ocean •2 BYA‚ O2 hits atmosphere The Geologic Time Scale Structure

“island arcs develop because of subduction of oceanic lithosphere beneath another oceanic plate…aqueous fluids and/or hydrous melts released from the subducting slab and their reaction with the overlying mantel wedge provide the prime control on arc magma genesis.” Basically this explains the formation of the islands as being caused by tectonic plates colliding against each other and releasing molten rock masses from the

‘Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid.’ Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement. (40 marks) Over the years proceeding the birth of the theory‚ increasingly convincing evidence has been gathered for proof of the theory of plate tectonics. In 1912‚ Alfred Wegner proposed the theory that continents are sat upon tectonic plates and that these plates are slowly drifting around the Earth (continental drift).
