Plate Tectonics: An Essay By: Grace Park Science 9 Mr. Achor 11-22-11 In the early 1900’s‚ scientists began to ask questions about the earth and it’s continents. Why are the same fossils found on opposite sides of the globe? Why do South America and Africa seem to fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle? Some scientists went to rather extreme measures to explain these strange phenomenons. Others took the time to come up with detailed theories

For my activity points‚ I attended the Plate of the Union political event‚ a group that is focused on getting healthy‚ affordable food to all Americans. The Plate of the Union holds monthly meetings at various locations around the city‚ at a variety of restaurants‚ focused on getting healthier foods on the menu‚ ones that support local farmers. This organization needs the government to pitch in‚ especially the President‚ since they would help bring more awareness to the cause and allow more funds

The Eatwell plate‚ originally designed by the Food Standards Agency‚ is the current food guide used within the UK to demonstrate the government’s dietary guidelines‚ using the visual representation of a plate to advise what constitutes a healthy balance diet (refer to figure 1). The plate is segmented into five food groups to assist in demonstrating the types of foods and the proportions which should be considered for a healthy balanced diet (Public Health England‚ 2014).

Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that the plate tectonics theory is valid. The theory of tectonic plates was first posed by Alfred Wenger in 1912. Is the theory of how the earth lithosphere is made up of many separate pieces of the earth’s crust known as tectonic plates. He put forward the idea that all the earth’s continents were once conjoined in one supercontinent called Pangaea‚ and that these continents were moved by convection currents over a period

Plate Tectonics Chart Amanda Wright GLG 150 February 24‚ 2013 Karen Hansen Plate Tectonics Chart 1) How does the motion of the tectonic plates affect the climate? Climate can be affected by many things. One of the biggest affects may be the motion of the tectonic plates. The Earths plates have been in motion approximately since its beginnings or shortly after‚ continuously causing climate to change. The Earth’s movement of plates as well as the apparent polar wandering can both play a role

A plate tectonic is defined as a solid rock mass that builds up the Earth’s surface. The plate tectonic theory is a theory that geologists use to help explain the surface processes and events. The word plate means large pieces of the earth that are always in motion‚ lithosphere plates. Tectonics means how the continents formed and move over time. This is the theory that most geologists accept as to what happened to our continents. It states that Earth is made up of two layers‚ the lithosphere

Streak Plate Isolation for Obtaining Pure Cultures Data Interpretation 1- In order to unsure that you get a pure sample. 2-pure culture: laboratory culture containing a single species of organism. A pure culture is usually derived from a mixed culture (containing many species) by methods that separate the individual cells so that‚ when they multiply‚ each will form an individually distinct colony‚ which may then be used to establish new cultures with the assurance that only one type of organism

11/20/13 Earth Space Science Plate Tectonics Theory Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth is divided into a couple of dozen plates that move around across the earth’s surface relative to each other‚ like slabs of ice on a lake. Plate Tectonics is cause by convection currents in the mantle of the Earth. This theory was originally called continental drift. The theory of “Pangea” that is the continents were connected was Alfred Wegener. The age of the sea floor is

A 24-year-old male presents to the trauma bay of an emergency department after being struck as a pedestrian by a car. Upon arrival‚ his Glasgow consciousness scale (GCS) is 15 and the patient is hemodynamically stable. Examination reveals left lower leg deformity with a 1 cm overlying skin wound. There is some fat visible in the wound‚ but no bone or gross contamination is identified. There is slow‚ but steady‚ dark blood oozing from the wound. Radiographs obtained in the trauma bay are shown below
