A historical perspective on Disney’s latest film "brother bear" This past weekend I saw the movie Brother Bear‚ it’s a new Disney movie and rated G. I have some trouble with the historical accuracy of the film and will be discussing that at great length. Sure it’s a children’s movie‚ but does that mean it’s ok to disregard historical accuracy? Perhaps the fact that it’s designed for children makes it even more important to keep it historically correct‚ after all children take things very literally

magnitude has a power to eradicate everything around it. Other earthquakes might be the larger but it’s the first one since accurate estimates of magnitude became possible. This was a megathrust earthquake which means that an earthquake occurred in subduction zones where two crustal plates are bumping each other. On May 22‚ 1960‚ in the middle of the afternoon‚ a wide range of place started to quake‚ near Valdivia‚ in southern Chile and lasted in 7 to 10 minutes. Consequently‚ dozens of islands and countries

AEOLIAN LANDFORMS * Aeolian landforms (also spelled as eolian or æolian) are features of the Earth’s surface produced by either the erosive or constructive action of the wind. * This process is not unique to earth‚ and it has been observed and studied on other planets‚ including Mars. * The word derives from Æolus‚ the Greek god of the winds‚ and the son of Hellen and the nymph Orseis. * Aeolian processes pertain to wind activity in the study of geology and weather‚ and specifically

the outer core of the earth. The mantle is by far the largest divide of the earth‚ measuring around 2900km thick‚ which is almost 85% of the earth’s volume. So the mantle is divided into four sections. The upper mantle (35 km- 400 km)‚ the transition zone (410–660 km)‚ the lower mantle (660–2900 km)‚ and the core-mantle boundary (varies but normally 200km thick). 2.

the scientific community as the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake.[4][5] The resulting tsunami was given various names‚ including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami‚ South Asian tsunami‚ Indonesian tsunami‚ and the Boxing Day tsunami. The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean‚ killing over 230‚000 people in fourteen countries‚ and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (98 ft) high.[6] It was

Mt. Pelee is a stratovolcano located on the subduction zone between the Atlantic and Caribbean plates. Early in the morning‚ locals spotted many rare animals such as snakes were moving down from Mt. Pelee to the lower lying cities. This was unusual for this to happen. Minutes later‚ the volcano spewed

creating a rift and pushing magma upward to fill in the crack. With a convergent boundary the plates move toward each other with one plate subducted under another plate. At the location where the plate sinks under another plate is called the subduction zone. Finally‚ with a transform boundary two plates slide horizontally past each other rubbing (Murck‚ Skinner‚ McKenzie). To follow‚ each of the different boundaries move in different ways but mostly all move at the same speed. The plates are said

Essay Question: Describe and explain how rock cycle operates. How do rocks metamorphose at destructive plate boundary? Rock cycle is a cycle that describes how rocks are transformed. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Besides‚ metamorphism at the destructive plate boundaries creates different characteristics of rocks. Operation

generally accepted plate-tectonics theory‚ scientists believe that Earth’s surface is broken into a number of shifting slabs or plates‚ which average about 50 miles in thickness. These plates move relative to one another above a hotter‚ deeper‚ more mobile zone at average rates as great as a few inches per year. Most of the world’s active volcanoes are located along or near the boundaries between shifting plates and are called plate-boundary Volcanoes. 3. The Mid-Atlantic ridge is a mid ocean ridge
