the magnitude of the earthquake? The magnitude of the earthquake was 9.2. 3. This earthquake occurred just as geologists were figuring out plate tectonics. What principle of plate tectonics did the earthquake confirm? It confirmed the major principle of plate tectonics: the Oceanic Pacific Plate dives beneath the North American Continental Plate. 4. How many earthquakes does Alaska have per year? Alaska has on average 24‚000 earthquakes per year. 5. How many magnitude 7 earthquakes

A) North America – South America B) North America – Africa C) South America – Asia D) Europe – North America E) South America – Africa 3. According to Wegener’s model‚ what evidence

deepest ocean trenches to the highest mountain rangers‚ plate tectonics explain all of the features from the past and present. A plate tectonic is a theory that was developed in the 1960s. According to the concept‚ Earth has a rigid layer called the lithosphere‚ which is normally 100km thick. The lithosphere is broken up into seven large continental and oceanic plates‚ six or seven medium sized regional plates‚ and various small ones. These plates do not move very far very quickly‚ and they usually slide

One cubic meter of which of these would weigh the most? A) seawater B) granite rock C) basaltic rock D) mantle Correct answer(s): D 7. The Hawaiian Islands formed as they pass over a hot spot in the middle of the: A) Mid-Atlantic ridge B) Nazca Plate C) Mariana Trench D) Pacific Plate. Correct answer(s): D 8

surface of the Earth. Continental drift: Movement of the Earth’s continents comparative to each other by appearing to drift across the ocean bed. Tectonic Plate: Large pieces of the Earth’s crust that float on the mantle. These plates are constantly moving and may crash into each other or slide or move apart from each other. Continental Plate: Large sections of the surface of the Earth that move separately. Shield Volcano: Volcanoes formed by viscous lava and have broad and flat sides. This happens

the boundary between the North American and Pacific lithospheric plates. Geologists have learned that the Earth’s crust is fractured into a series of "plates" that have been moving very slowly over the Earth’s surface for millions of years. Two of these moving plates meet in western California; the boundary between them is the San Andreas Fault. The Pacific Plate (on the west) moves northwestward relative to the North American Plate (on the east)‚ causing earthquakes along the fault. The San Andreas

This experiment tested the growth of E.coli with inserted plasmid on an agar plate with Ampicillin. One colony of E.coli resistant to Ampicillin was grown during this experiment. The overall goal of the experiment was to successfully grow E.coli on the agar plate‚ which would show that the plasmid had been effectively inserted into the bacteria’s genes. This experiment helped students understand how plasmids were inserted into bacteria and used in real life situations. It also showed how the bacteria’s

performing an enumeration (plate count) of the total viable bacteria in the rice salad on a general non-selective agar using either the pour or the spread plate method. To confirm that the outbreak had been caused by any B. cereus present in the rice salad a selective media agar‚ such as mannitol egg yolk polymixin agar (MEYP/MYP)‚ should be used. Once B. cereus has been confirmed a further enumeration of the B. cereus should be performed on the MEYP/MYP agar selective media plate to show whether the amount

unknown is. This experiment will also determine if our bacteria is a fermenter of sugars and if it is catalase positive. If the bacteria is a fermenter they will use the sugars to make ATP. If the bacteria is a fermenter of lactose/sucrose the EMB plate we used will “clearly differentiate between the colonies of lactose fermenting and non-fermenting microbes. In the same medium sucrose was also included to differentiate between coliforms that were able to ferment sucrose more rapidly than those that
