The Pacific Ring of Fire (see below) Tectonic plates of the world. The Pacific Ring of Fire (or just The Ring of Fire) is an area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40‚000 km (25‚000 mi) horseshoe shape‚ it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches‚ volcanic arcs‚ and volcanic belts and plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes

explain the movement of tectonic plates?! - Sea floor spreading in movement of tectonic plates is called divergent‚ the separation of two plate. This can be proved because magma comes out from the fault of ridge which means plate has open and it’s realising the magma. Other reason‚ if diverging is happening at one point‚ that means converging is happening at other end of plate‚ for example Himalayan mountain range at India and Nepal (converging) and other side of plate that contains India is having

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into many different pieces separated by jagged cracks. These are called the tectonic plates. They are in slow‚ constant motion pushed by the convection currents in Earth’s asthenosphere. This theory explains the process of sea floor spreading at mid-ocean ridges‚ and subduction at deep ocean trenches. It was proposed by J. Tuzo Wilson in 1965. He combined the discoveries of Harry Hess and Alfred Wegner to support this

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus‚ from the Greek: τεκτονικός "pertaining to building")[1] is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere. The model builds on the concepts of continental drift‚ developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted the theory after the concepts of seafloor spreading were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. On

Microbiology Instructor: Dirk VandePol Date: 6/21/2013 Streak Plate Isolation for Obtaining Pure Culture 1. When an agar plate is inoculated‚ why is the loop sterilized after the initial inoculation in put on? Ans: We use agar plate to inoculate microbes by zipping the loop on the agar several times. We streak on the agar plate four time‚ propose is to isolate the unknown bacteria. Therefore‚ the first time to streak on the plate‚ there are million of bacteria on the loop. For that reason‚

Constructive boundaries occur when two plates move apart which causes new oceanic crust to be formed and mid-ocean ridges are created by the build-up of molten rock on the seafloor due to the mantle building up. This new crust pushes the old crust aside and forcing the plates apart at a very slow rate. Basaltic lava rises which means new crust is being added continuously. Rift valleys are formed at constructive boundaries‚ where convection current causes the crust to be pulled apart causing fractures
