Types of volcanism associated with plate margins There are two types of plate margin. When there is a boundary between two diverging tectonic plates‚ such as between the North American and Eurasian plates‚ it is known as a constructive plate margin. This is because it recognises the importance of magma rising up from the mantle to create new crustal rock. The boundary between two converging plates is known as a destructive plate margin‚ as it is responsible for more violent seismic activity‚ volcanoes

4:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on January 17‚ 1994 Northridge‚ California was hit by a magnitude 6.7 Earthquake that shook for nearly 20 seconds. The natural disaster was a blind thrust earthquake‚ which occurs along a thrust fault‚ but shows no sign on the Earth’s surface‚ thus the term “blind”. The Earthquake was centered in Northridge‚ which is approximately 20 miles west/northwest of Los Angeles. The powerful shock was felt at distances of 400 kilometers from the epicenter. It produced record-breaking

Science San Andres Fault Summary The San Andreas Fault is a crack in the Earth’s crust in California‚ which is about 1100 kilometers long. Since 1857‚ 1906 and 1989 many famous earthquakes have occurred along it. It is the boundary between the North American and Pacific lithospheric plates. Geologists have learned that the Earth’s crust is fractured into a series of "plates" that have been moving very slowly over the Earth’s surface for millions of years. Two of these moving plates meet in western

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is just one of the many technologies that have been discovered‚ and put into place throughout the policing community. Automatic Number Plate Recognition is means of surveillance that uses optical character recognition on various images and makes reading license plate numbers possible. They do this through the use of existing closed-circuit television‚ road enforcement

GUJARAT EARTHQUAKE MORE DESTRUCTIVE THAN THE SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE? In 1989 an earthquake hit San Francisco‚ on the west coast of USA‚ killing around 63 people. Twelve years later an earthquake hit Gujarat‚ in India. This time it killed approximately 20‚000 people. In this report I will be comparing the two earthquakes‚ giving reasons why the Gujarat earthquake was so much more destructive than the one in San Francisco. An earthquake is a movement or tremor in the earth’s crust. Earthquakes happen
