The end of the constitutional monarchy and savage attack on the tuliers on 10th August 1792 was the result of various events. The 5 sources mention various possible reasons for this‚ however there is common thread to them all in that the King was largely responsible for his own demise. Source E and D strongly agree with this viewpoint‚ whereas Sources C‚B and A take a rather milder and less explicit view. The war in Europe and tension with Austria and Prussia is also seen as a reason for the fall

In the 1700’s‚ the main source of news was either newspapers or talk amongst neighbors. Today‚ we have the internet‚ television‚ newspapers‚ and radio. The past life of the public officials is nipped and picked at‚ and examined with a fine toothed comb. When George Washington was elected president‚ he was never questioned on anything in his past on the public stage. Modern media today looks for any imperfection in a public figure‚ and attacks it. George Washington‚ in his youth‚ was known to be

The Pangaea Theory The Pangea theory describes that all continents were joined together in one enormous land mass millions of years ago. Later on the continents broke apart and start drifting in opposite directions and still continued to make another arrangement. In 1912‚ Alfred Wegner‚ a German meteorologist and geologist gave the hypothesis the all the continents were joined together in a single continental land mass surrounded by a single ocean (Panthalassa) Late Paleozoic times. The Wegner

Dauki Fault system of eastern Sylhet and the deep seated Sylhet Fault‚ and proximity to the highly disturbed southeastern Assam region with the Jaflong thrust‚ Naga thrust and Disang thrust‚ is a zone of high seismic risk with a basic seismic co-efficient of 0.08. Northern Bangladesh comprising greater Rangpur and Dinajpur districts is also a region of high seismicity because of the presence of the Jamuna Fault and the proximity to the active east-west running fault and the Main Boundary Fault to the

Associate Level Material Comparison Worksheet Use the following table to compare extrusive and intrusive rocks. Describe and compare each type in at least 150 words. Extrusive Rock Intrusive Rock Extrusive rocks are also called volcanic rocks and extrusive rocks are formed on the earth’s surface. Extrusive rocks also form from magma‚ but a form of lava. Magma flows onto the earth’s surface by an eruption by a volcano. When the magma hits the earth’s surface‚ the magma turns into lava.

forces changed to compression and subduction began. Volcanic islands grew as a result of andesitic volcanism associated with the subduction. With continued subduction and convergence‚ volcanic islands collided with North America and those rocks were thrust up on the continental margin. Deformation‚ metamorphism and magmatism accompanied this collision and gave rise to the Taconic Orogeny. Rocks metamorphosed and deformed in this event are seen in the Blue Ridge and Piedmont provinces. This

Subsidence • A sinking or setting of part of the Earth’s crust with respect to the surrounding parts is the motion of a surface (usually‚ the Earth’s surface) as it shifts downward relative to a datum such as sea level. c. Thrust • Horizontal movement of the Earth’s crust. Theories of Diastrophism: a. Theory of Isostasy • States that as rock from higher region is removed by erosion and deposited on a lower region‚ the higher region slowly rises while the lower region

1. Which of the following describes what would happen when toxic waste is accidentally spilled into a groundwater system? A) Gasoline and kerosene would float on the water table‚ but most pesticides break down chemically when they reach the water table. B) Gasoline and kerosene would float on the water table; ethyl alcohol would dissolve and disperse in the groundwater. C) Sulfuric and nitric acids would sink to the bottom of the aquifer; kerosene would accumulate as a layer just below the water

originate from the sudden movement of faults. As the faults move‚ in any direction‚ the blocks of rock on both sides of the fault will rub against each other and that cause the vibrations. The more the faults move‚ the larger the amount and intensity of vibrations in the earthquake will be. The reason that Los Angeles is prone to an earthquake at any given time is because the center of the city is located directly above a group of thrust faults. These faults occur at convergent boundaries. It
