Plate Tectonics The forces that shape the earth begin beneath the lithosphere. Rock in the asthenosphere is hot enough to flow slowly. Heated rock rises‚ moves up toward the lithosphere‚ cools and circulates downward. Riding above this circulation system are the tectonic plates‚ enormous moving pieces of the earth’s lithosphere. [pic] Plate Movement Tectonic Plates move in four different ways. When tectonic plates come into contact‚ changes on the earth’s surface occur. 1. Diveregnt Boundary-

Sometimes it is unplanned‚ unseen and unintentional. Sometimes we choose to accept the values of others. Sometimes we choose to rebel against them. Either way they are influential. The nuclear family is the first part of society that shapes us. Our parents and siblings (good‚ bad‚ indifferent) play a major role

4 External Forced Convection 4.1 Introduction to Laminar Boundary Layers 4.1.1 Introduction Chapters 1 through 3 consider conduction heat transfer in a stationary medium. Energy transport within the material of interest occurs entirely by conduction and is governed by Fourier’s law. Convection is considered only as a boundary condition for the relatively simple ordinary or partial differential equations that govern conduction problems. Convection is the transfer of energy in a moving medium

An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons‚ giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. The name was given by physicist Michael Faraday for the substances that allow a current to pass ("go") between electrodes in a solution‚ when an electric field is applied. It is from Greek ιον‚ meaning "going." The word ion also is responsible for electrical current being symbolized by the letter i in chemistry and physics. An anion
