moves in a circle‚ which is called CONVECTION CELL. Plates on the crust are not statistic because they are so heavy that they move down. The movement of magma causes the movement. A volcano may appear when magma in the mantle rises through the plates. 4 Types of Boundaries Destructive Constructive Collision Conservative Destructive Boundary (Pacific) Oceanic with Continental If there is friction between two plates there may be an earthquake Constructive Boundary (Atlantic)

morphology. Colonies can be classified according to their colour‚ form‚ elevation‚ margin and size. Pure cultures of microorganisms are those that are uniform and are of the same descendants of the same organism. The isolation of colonies by streak plate technique allows the obtainment of pure cultures which can be studied further. Good quality aseptic technique and proper sterilisation are a required to ensure that all samples produced are free from unwanted organisms that can lead to contamination

1. What is Earth’s mantle? The mantle is a part of a terrestrial planet or other rocky body large enough to have differentiation by density. The interior of the Earth‚ similar to the other terrestrial planets‚ is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a layer between the crust and the outer core. ... 2. What elements make up the Earth’s mantle? Magnesium‚ silicon‚ iron and oxygen‚ aluminum‚ silicon‚ calcium‚ sodium and potassium 3. Describe the “big splash” theory of the Moon’s origin? The

Encoding Information with Light’s Orbital Angular Momentum Light is the future of communication‚ traveling at 3‚000‚000 meters per second‚ the cosmic speed limit of the universe. Its tremendous speed makes it optimal for data transmission. The conventional method to encode information in light is through amplitude modulation‚ i.e. light pulses‚ time division multiplexing‚ i.e. delaying the time light beams enter a channel‚ and wavelength multiplexing‚ i.e. multiple beams of light in one channel

Plate Tectonics The forces that shape the earth begin beneath the lithosphere. Rock in the asthenosphere is hot enough to flow slowly. Heated rock rises‚ moves up toward the lithosphere‚ cools and circulates downward. Riding above this circulation system are the tectonic plates‚ enormous moving pieces of the earth’s lithosphere. [pic] Plate Movement Tectonic Plates move in four different ways. When tectonic plates come into contact‚ changes on the earth’s surface occur. 1. Diveregnt Boundary-

Determine 2 sampling sources‚ one from your body and one from the surrounding environment. 2. For the first agar plate‚ for sampling from air‚ remove the lids from the plate and allow it to sit uncovered for 15 minutes. 1. For second agar plate‚ open the “stick” end of the sterile cotton swabs to avoid

“The extent to which tectonic processes represent hazards depends on when and where they are experienced. Discuss” Throughout this essay I will be discussing my view on the extent to which I think tectonic processes represent hazards depending on when and where they are experienced. My view is that the hazards caused by tectonic processes such as volcanoes and earthquakes are very much likely to have a bigger impact socially‚ environmentally and economically depending on where they had occurred

Agar and Media Preparation— Agar plates containing King’s B Agar were often used throughout the experiment to support growth of Pseduomonas fluorescens. A recipe was used that included a mixture of 10g Proteose Peptone #3‚ 1.5g Potassium Phosphate Dibasic (K2HPO4)‚ 30ml 50% Glycerol‚ ~965ml water and 20g agar. The mixture‚ post- autoclave‚ was left to cool and 5ml 1M Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) was added and created about 40 plates. King’s B Medium was made using the same procedure as the King’s B
