Plate tectonics provide the perfect clues to where and what seismic hazard will occur? Discuss. It is at the boundaries of the planet’s tectonic plates that most of the world’s major landforms occur and where earthquakes‚ volcanic and mountain building zones are located. The surface of the planet is made up of seven large and several smaller rigid tectonic plates which float on the semi-molton asthenosphere; the movement of these plates is influenced by the convection cells under the lithosphere

points in this report revolve around tectonic plate subduction‚ uplift around the Denali fault‚ and the rock composition of the mountain. The combination of these three forces are integral reasons for why the mountain has been able to grow to its size and why it’s been able to maintain its height. To understand how subduction has affected Denali and the Alaska mountain range‚ you first need to understand how plate tectonics work. The theory of plate tectonics centers on the idea that the Earth’s

Bacteria Prac Aim: To observe the growth of bacteria on Agar plates Hypothesis: That the bacteria will grow in colonies throughout the agar plates except for the one with the anti-biotic loop because some will fight off the bacteria. Method: (Method taken from prac sheet) Plate 1: Use the swab to cover your entire agar plate in your bacteria. You only need one swab of bacteria but be careful to cover the entire surface of your agar in a layer of bacteria. Carefully place an Antibiotic Mastring

Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics Theory (Part 1a) Introduction: The Beginning of the “Continental Drift Theory” In the middle of the eighteenth century‚ James Hutton proposed a theory‚ uniformitarianism; “the present is the key to the past”. It held that processes such as geologic forces- gradual and catastrophic-occurring in the present were the same that operated in the past. (Matt Rosenberg‚ 2004) This theory coincides with the theory of Continental Drift that was first proposed by Abraham

modifications that are the main objective of the study. Compressed air filled by electricity using a compressor. The electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered while computing overall efficiency. Nevertheless the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing a air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment. Main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel required means no combustion process is take place. HISTORY In fact‚ two centuries

This is a very important question that haunts us every day‚ because we don’t always know when they are coming and how bad they will be. I am Donte Lindsey and I am the director of Earth Preparedness of Los Angeles. With any type of danger the first thing you need to be prepared with is knowledge. Today we will discuss the hazards

The Plate with King Hunting Rams is a brilliant piece of metallurgy from the Sassanid era of Persia‚ around 5-6th century CE. It was made from silver‚ mercury gilding and niello inlay in the Qazvin region in what is now Iran. The plate depicts an unknown Sassanid King (either Peroz or Kavad I) hunting down a group of rams. It shows the prowess and desired image of the king as well as the cultural divide and influence of the society at the time. Through its use of curvature‚ color‚ and shape‚ the

procedures were carried out over the course of this experiment: tube inoculation and plate inoculation. We started with plate preparation. Three different lysogeny broth‚ or LB‚ agar plates were prepared for E. coli growth every other week: a control where water was used‚ one for triclosan‚ and one for streptomycin. Using an inoculation loop‚ E. coli was transferred from the test tube to the agar plate. This was done to each plate twice‚ creating a grid-like pattern of bacteria growth. A small paper disk soaked
