Constructive Plate Margin * This is where two plates move apart be it any combination of crust type either sial or sima. At a sima and sima divergence such as the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate‚ both crusts diverge leaving magma to rise up. This with aid from the cool ocean water solidifies and creates gentle sloping volcanos with basic basaltic lava with low viscosity. The type of volcanoes found at these margins are shield and fissure volcanoes. At this specific plate margin‚ at

environment of northern Alaska. The authors explain that this region of Alaska is particularly unique in that it lies entirely north of the Arctic Circle and it is the most coherent stratigraphy in Alaska. The region includes one of the major mountain ranges in Alaska‚ the Brooks Range‚ as well as some of the most important economic resources and reserves in the United States. This region is composed of varying sizes of plutons‚ batholiths and sedimentary rocks. Two major terranes encompass the region

nature and his destiny. There are three pre-dominant theories on the origin of the human soul: Pre-existence‚ Traducian and Creationist. The Pre-existence theory is the view that before a man is born on earth he is a spirit that awaits incarnation. The problem with this theory is that man has no memory of a previous existence. This theory originated in pagan beliefs and has no basis in Scripture. The Traducian theory proposes that the

the Earth’s crust‚ rock is usually defined as a mixture of common minerals. Rocks can be hard or soft‚ as small as a grain or as large as a building. They have been an integral part of the history of mankind‚ first being used as tools for hunting and defense‚ and as a building materials to construct shelters and monuments. Combined with the effects of tectonics‚ weathering and vegetation‚ rocks define the natural landscapes we see around us. The minerals and metals we find in rocks are essential to

CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

Plate boundaries Plate Boundaries is a theory of the global movement over a period of time. There are three main types of plate boundaries they are‚ transform boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ and divergent boundaries. Transform boundaries are where two plates are sliding past each other. These areas are also known as faults. Most transform boundaries are found on the ocean floor‚ a few however are found on land. Since these boundaries do not crunch together they to not tear or break

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

Eurasian Plate: The Eurasian Plate is a tectonic plate which includes most of the continent of Eurasia (a landmass consisting of the traditional continents of Europe and Asia)‚ with the notable exceptions of the Indian subcontinent‚ the Arabian subcontinent‚ and the area east of the Chersky Range in East Siberia.

Even though I won’t be a hero I still want to die knowing I was a part of something greater than myself. I want to be memorialized as one of best worries in the world and be a part of that USMC brotherhood. In this essay I will give you three ways I want to be memorialized as. The first is to simply be remembered as a marine. I want to die with the
