    I really enjoyed reading "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words‚" I thought it was an easy read. Paul Roberts did an extremely great job at catching the readers attention and keeping it. He used humor as his tone of voice which was very unique in an article like this. He found a funny way to teach writers the do’s and don’t of writing. One part of the content that stood out to me was to avoid the obvious content. When required to pick a side and persuade the reader‚ is to start out by writing down all

    CheckPoint: Igneous Rock SCI245 July 20‚ 2011 CheckPoint: Igneous Rocks The answer to how igneous rocks are formed is given in their name; Igneous is Latin for “fire”. This basically means igneous rocks are cooled fire rocks from magma or lava‚ depending on where they cooled and formed. There are two categories of igneous rocks that also depend on where each was formed. Intrusive igneous rocks are igneous rocks that form when magma cools slowly and becomes solid underground. Extrusive igneous rocks

    Plate boundaries

    • 584 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Constructive boundaries occur when two plates move apart which causes new oceanic crust to be formed and mid-ocean ridges are created by the build-up of molten rock on the seafloor due to the mantle building up. This new crust pushes the old crust aside and forcing the plates apart at a very slow rate. Basaltic lava rises which means new crust is being added continuously. Rift valleys are formed at constructive boundaries‚ where convection current causes the crust to be pulled apart causing fractures

    CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

    events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid (40 marks) The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth’s lithosphere (top layer of the Earth’s crust) is split up into rigid sections called plates that are moving relative to one another as they move on top of the underlying semi-molten mantle. These plates are either continental‚ The North American Plate‚ or oceanic‚ The Nazca Plate. Tectonic plates are powered by convection currents‚ which is the circular

There are three main types of plate boundaries they are‚ transform boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ and divergent boundaries. Transform boundaries are where two plates are sliding past each other. These areas are also known as faults. Most transform boundaries are found on the ocean floor‚ a few however are found on land. Since these boundaries do not crunch together they to not tear or break

    ‘Evaluate how plate tectonics theory helps our understanding of the distribution of seismic and volcanic events’ In 1912‚ Alfred Wegener published his theory that a single super continent named Pangaea once existed about 300 million years ago. He proposed that Pangaea then later split into two continents of Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south and that today’s continents were the result of further splitting of these two land masses. Where the plates split are known as plate boundaries
