Moreover‚ the data above is evidence of the presence of subduction zones wherein the collision of two plate boundaries causes the denser plate to sink below the less dense plate into the asthenosphere. This type of tectonic activity promotes the formation of volcanic island arc-trench systems. The arc-trench systems

Heat in physics is defined as energy in transit. It is symbolized with the alphabet Q. (Strong‚ Martin C. The Great Alternative and Indie Discography of Heat) It is mostly connected with different movements of atoms‚ molecules and other particles. These particles either consist of particles that are either hot or cold. High temperature bodies‚ are often caused due to the high heat transfer‚ which is created by chemical reactions‚ nuclear reactions‚ electromagnetic dissipation‚ or mechanical dissipation

Creationism is believing that a superior being called‚ God‚ created Earth and all of the living creatures we have‚ such as: humans‚ animals‚ birds‚ and plants. Creationists believe that this God created it using only his words and creating humans with his own hands and breathe of life. Evidence found for creationism has been discredited throughout the years by ‘simple’‚ evolutionary explanations‚ but neither evolutionists or creationist have the closest thing to a proof. The first evidence for

Stratovolcanoes are tall‚ conical volcanoes that are heavily layered with hardened lava and volcanic ash. This layered structure is built up from the sequential outflow of various eruptive materials. Stratovolcanoes are mostly common amongst subduction zones‚ which is where two tectonic plates meet and by which one plate moves under another and sinks into the mantle as the plates converge. Water is forced into the mantle‚ which forms magma. Less dense magma works its way through to the magma chamber

Geo assessment Mt Etna An eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out the volcano’s vents. When the magma chamber has been completely filled‚ the pressure in the pipe will build up very high resulting in an explosion. When magma reaches earth’s surface it is called lava. It may pour out in gentle streams called lava flows or erupt violently into the air. Rocks ripped loose from the inside of the volcano or torn apart by the gas may be shot into the

Tectonics and Continental Drift Past and Present Locations Abstract When we look at our earth’s surface now it has seven continents‚ and five of them are divided by the oceans that surround them. In 1912 Alfred Wegner (1880-1930)‚ came up with a theory called the continental drift; stating that over three hundred years ago all seven continents were once one super continent called Pangaea. Wegner tried to convince other scientists and geologist for many years that the continents

therefore erupts unpredictably and with great force. At this plate boundary‚ a denser plate (e.g. oceanic or and older plate) subducts a less dense plate (continental or newer) and this plate descends into the asthenosphere. The plate melts at the Benioff zone due to increased temperatures and pressures and stress is
