Plate Tectonics Press Release GLG/101 July 13‚ 2012 Plate Tectonics Press Release Hello everyone‚ my name is John doe and I am the Director of Earthquake Preparedness’ for Los Angles. I am here today to talk to your about earthquake preparedness. During this press release I will be describing the hazards associated with earthquakes in Los Angeles. I will discuss the origin and causes of earthquakes and the relation of earthquakes to plate tectonics and faults in Los Angeles

disastrous and far more expensive due to the heavily dense population‚ the many old buildings still in use‚ and the costly price of real estate today. California lies between two active plate boundaries known as the North American plate‚ which moves south‚ and the Pacific Plate‚ which moves north. These two plates are connected by the continental

a few of us had diarrhoea after consuming food from the canteen. 3. Apart from that‚ the food is also too expensive. A small plate of fried mee costs RM1.50 and many poor students cannot afford it. Besides that‚ the canteen serves the same menu daily. The students are bored with fried rice and fried mee every day. 4. Another complaint is that the cups and plates are oily and not washed properly. The workers are also not appropriately attired although they have been told to wear aprons and

is made up of seven major plates and many smaller ones. The plates move due to convection currents rising in the mantle. Distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes Mainly found along plate boundaries. In linear clusters (lines). At destructive boundaries.

continents had once been connected‚ but he was the first to present extensive evidence from several fields. He was subsequently proved right‚ although he was wrong in one respect; the continents don’t drift on their own‚ they move as part of much larger "plates" of the Earth’s surface‚ much of which is ocean floor. Wegner’s hypothesis stated that Earth’s continents were once joined in a single landmass and gradually moved or drifted apart. Yes‚ that and he also provided information showing it‚ such as fossils

As seen in table 4 we can see that the fault is a reverse fault because the plates are exact opposite of each other the are flipped opposite of each other. The north side is moving up while the south side is moving down. An observation made at the fault was that the sediments were weathered and partially covered in mold meaning

Lesson 1.06 1) Explain the relationship between continental drift and the formation of the Earth’s Oceans? -The relationship between continental drift and the formation of the Earth’s Oceans stems from plate movement that occurred on Earth. There is a theory that all the continents were once all one big piece of land named Pangaea‚ and over millions and millions of years the land of Pangaea started to split apart into many different continents. It divided Panthalassa‚ the large global ocean that

ocean trenches and oceanic mountain ranges. About 13% of the earthquakes on the map occurred along subduction zones. Out of all of the earthquakes on the map‚ I would say that about twenty of the quakes do not appear to be associated with any active plate boundary. The most powerful earthquakes that were plotted on the map occurred along subduction zones. The deepest earthquakes on the map also occurred along subduction zones. The geological factors that might explain the different levels of earthquake

Tsunamis‚ the ins and outs What is a tsunami? Tsunamis (Japanese for “Harbor Wave”) are series of waves that are characterized by their massive wavelengths‚ often about 120 miles long‚ whereas a normal wave has one of about 333 feet‚ and destruction that they bring when they hit land. They are often called tidal waves‚ but incorrectly so. They have virtually nothing to do with the tides. Tsunamis can range from a few feet in height to over a hundred feet

1. Explain the difference between a “reserve” and a “resource”. What factors influence estimates of reserves and resources for commodities such as minerals or fossil fuels? Resources and reserves are similar in that the both benefit humanity. Resources are materials that can be used to satisfy human needs‚ or used as support. Reserves on the other hand are known deposits with the ability to extract the available material economically; the size of these reserves is not always known or defined
