    the topographical features at divergent and convergent plate margins. Subject: Earth Environments 1: Geomorphology and Soils Course Code: GEOG 1231 Divergent and convergent plate margins are both studied in plate tectonics; which is the study of the plates that makeup the lithosphere‚ their movements and how these movements has influenced changes in the surface’s topography (Strahler‚ 2011‚ 389). The driving force that causes these plate movements is the gradual movement of the semi-molten rock

    EXPERIMENT: Pressure drop over a bubble cap plate. AIM : This experiment is conducted in an experimental test ring in which the effect of the variation in vapor and liquid flow rates on the pressure drop across bubble cap plates is simulated using air and water to represent the vapor and liquid respectively. THEORY: In a pilot tube the relation between the gas velocity and pressure drop is Where‚ is the differential pressure as expressed in the head of the fluid flowing.  Where‚ ’=level

    Alfred Wegener(1880-1930) was the first man to propose the theory gplate tectonics.h He had got a Ph.D in astronomy from the University of Berlin‚ but he was also interested in the other science field such as geophysics‚ meteorology‚ and climatology. He also contributed to meteorology by establishing to track air circulation using balloon. In 1911‚ he read a paper that listed identical fossils of plants and animals found on opposite side of the Atlantic‚ and he looked for more of such organisms

    of evidence for plate tectonics. It is the patterns on the rocks which presented a problem with the theory. There was thought to be a problem with the description of the movement being “slow and gradual”. According to scientists and geologists the movement would have been performed at a rapid speed. A physicist then predicted where the evidence for this rapid movement could be found and it was later proved that the argument against the theory was correct. The biblical view of plate tectonics conveys

    Introduction- The purpose of this experiment is to obtain isolation of individual species of particles from the mixed culture. This is completed through the isolation technique of streak plate. The objective of this experiment is to replicate the technique of streak plate but on a much larger scale. Because it is on a larger scale the particles are able to be visually observed as they are isolated using the streaking technique as the experiment is conducted. The benefits of the streaking technique

    A Divergent plate boundary is a tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other and new crust is forming from magma that rises to the Earth’s surface between the two plates. The middle of the Red Sea and the mid-ocean ridge (running the length of the Atlantic Ocean) are divergent plate boundaries. Divergent boundaries are characterized by a rift in the surface of the earth along the midocean ridges that exist in all of the major ocean basins. The ridges are composed of volcanic

    To answer the following question: Relate the generation of all three rock types (igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic) to plate tectonics. I will start first‚ with igneous rocks and how does it relate to plate tectonics. Second‚ with sedimentary rocks and progressively keep on answering how all three types of rocks relate to plate tectonics. Will be giving as much information I learned from class. To assure‚ answer is fully answered. The igneous process begins when magma forms by melting at depth
