British never had an overall strategy for winning the Revolutionary War. They acted vigilantly at points when authoritative and serious attacks could have undermined the Continental army. The British assumed that American rebellion would disintegrate when British troops lands on American shores. They believed that the Continental Army was amateurish and unable to fight a interminable war against an organized British military force. Not until after the Battle of Bunker did the British even begin to

convergent plate margins it’s the rising of magma that creates volcanoes. Convergent plate margin consist or two plates oceanic and continental. The topographic elements that are formed here are due to three occurrence‚ oceanic-oceanic plates colliding‚ continental – oceanic plates and continental-continental plates colliding (Muller‚ 2005‚ 140). When a continental and an oceanic plate meet a major topographic feature that will form is a volcano‚ this is an upward mountain that usually have an opening

towards one another. The plate collisions that occur in these areas can produce earthquakes‚ volcanic activity and crustal deformation. Convergent Plate Boundary – Oceanic-Continental: When continental and oceanic plates collide the thinner and more dense oceanic plate is overridden by the thicker and less dense continental plate. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process known as subduction. As the oceanic plate descends it is forced into higher temperature environments. At

SEDIMENTARY BASINS - AN INTRODUCTION Definition of a sedimentary basin: A sedimentary basin is an area in which sediments have accumulated during a particular time period at a significantly greater rate and to a significantly greater thickness than surrounding areas. (Compare with physiographic basin - a depression in the surface of the land or sea-floor that may or may not be infilled with sediments). Sedimentary basins of one type or another today cover about 70% of the Earth’s surface and contain

seafloor: shelf‚ slope‚ canyons‚ rise‚ and abyss. Continental shelf‚ the most shallow and accessible region‚ they cover 1/6 of Earth’s surface. Continental slope from the edge of the continental shelf to the deep ocean. Continental rise is a huge long shallow slope where debris coming off the continent is deposited‚ and is a gradual slope. Submarine canyons are deep v-shaped valleys that furrow continental shelves and slopes. The abyssal plain is beyond the continental rise and is the flattest region on Earth

the continental margin is the ocean floor. It is located between the shoreline and the deep-ocean bottom. The deep ocean basin is a depression in the ocean floor that varies in depth and includes all of the deep parts of the ocean between the continents. The continental shelf regions also contain the highest amount of plants and animals that live on the ocean floor. Next we have continental slope connects the continental shelf and the oceanic crust. It begins at the continental shelf

Motivation- Gordon Bethune ensured that each employee would receive a cheque for $65 every month that Continental was in the top five in on-time performance and a $100 cheque every month if they were in the top 3 for on-time performance. Communication –Gordon made a toll free number for all the co-workers so that if they had a complaint or issue they could address it. He also gave out his personal voicemail number and would usually return them. Treat
