MAJOR FAULT LINES The Philippine Sea Plate or Philippine Plate is a tectonic plate comprising oceanic lithosphere that lies beneath the Philippine Sea‚ to the east of the Philippines. Most segments of the Philippines‚ including northern Luzon‚ are part of the Philippine Mobile Belt‚ which is geologically and tectonically separate from the Philippine Sea Plate. The North American Plate is a tectonic plate covering most of North America‚ Greenland‚ Cuba‚ Bahamas‚ and parts ofIceland and the Azores

Earthquakes in Japan The Japan is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet and create a major fault line; this is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan. If earthquakes occur below or close to the ocean‚ they may trigger tidal waves known as tsunami. Historic earthquakes Here is a brief history of earthquake in Japan. Many parts of this country have experienced devastating earthquakes and tidal waves in the

many major active fault zones that are the root causes of earthquakes and other natural diaster. The Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault is major geological fault that runs a length of roughly 1000 km in a north-south direction and exhibits current seismicity. It is located in the Chilean Northern Patagonian Andes. It is a dextral intra-arc transform fault. When considered a fault zone‚ the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone (LOFZ) might include other neighboring faults such as Reigolil-Pirihueico Fault. The geology of Chile

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‚

CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKES‚ TSUNAMI AND CYCLONES EARTHQUAKES What are Earthquakes? ← An earthquake (also known as a quake‚ tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency‚ type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Earthquakes are measured with a seismometer; a device which also records is known as a seismograph. The moment
