that is why the earth has the formation that it currently has‚ with seven large continents. With an area of 41‚105‚000 square miles‚ the Atlantic Ocean is currently just a little over half the size of the Pacific Ocean. The plates of the earth have never stopped moving. As the plates continue to shift‚ the Atlantic Ocean continues to grow each year‚ while the Pacific Ocean continually shrinks every year. While the Atlantic Ocean grows approximately one inch every year‚ the Pacific Ocean shrinks approximately

the Earth ’s continents relative to each other. The hypothesis that continents ’drift ’ was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and was fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. However‚ it was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s‚ that a sufficientgeological explanation of that movement was found. |Contents | | [hide] | |1 History

Millions of years ago Pangaea is what was believed to be‚ and now has evidence to support‚ the first continent on earth. It is referred to as the super continent as all existing continents were connected to it. In Greek‚ Pangaea is defined as “all the earth”; the man who came up with theory was Alfred Wegener. Wegener had a PhD in astronomy but always had an interest in geoscience. “Wegener was browsing in the university library when he came across a scientific paper that listed fossils of identical

Dead Sea Scroll The settlement of Qumran is one kilometer inland from the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. The scrolls were found in eleven caves nearby‚ between 125 meters (e.g.‚ Cave 4) and one kilometer (e.g.‚ Cave 1) away. None were found within the settlement‚ unless it originally encompassed the caves. In the winter of 1946–47‚ Palestinian Muhammed edh-Dhib and his cousin discovered the caves‚ and soon afterwards the scrolls. John C. Trever reconstructed the story of the scrolls from several

result indicated that my unknown was negative because no bubbles formed when I placed a loop of the organism into hydrogen peroxide. The next step was to examine a blood agar plate to examine the colonial morphology of hemolysis ‚ my organism produced gamma hemolysis on the blood agar because there was no hemolysis on the plate after 48 hours incubation period. After examining my unknown for hemolysis I set a series of five experiments: Bacitracin SX CAMP Enterococcosel 6.5% NaCl My unkown

basic categories of rocks include igneous‚ sedimentary and metamorphic. The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheric plate movements which cause oceanic crust creation and subduction with its associated melt and igneous rock formation‚ and uplift with it’s associated metamorphism‚ along with exposure and erosion from climatic conditions due to the exposure. Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus‚ from the Greek: "pertaining to building” is a scientific theory that describes
