which take place within it. My favourite area of geophysics is tectonic movement. Whilst visiting the Himalayan mountain range in 2015 I had first-hand experience of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake in the Gilgit area of Pakistan. This harrowing experience sparked my interest in the formation of the mountain range and the challenges of measuring tectonic movement using a variety of techniques‚ including GPS from satellites to track rock movements and seismometers to record seismic activity below the ground

Continental drift is the idea that the earth’s continents are drifting away‚ relative to each other across the ocean bed suggested by Alfred Wegner as part of his wider theory on plate tectonics. The plate tectonic theory suggested by Alfred Wegner in 1915 was that millions of years ago all the continents were joined together in one mass of land called ‘Pangaea’‚ the evidence for this was that coal was found on Antarctica‚ the shape of Africa and south America fit together and same fossils were

This region is composed of varying sizes of plutons‚ batholiths and sedimentary rocks. Two major terranes encompass the region‚ the Arctic Alaska terrane and the Angayucham terrane as well as their associated subterranes as separated by faulting. The Arctic Alaska terrane is of Proterozoic to Cenozoic in age and underlies all of the

Evaluate how Plate Tectonic Theory helps our Understanding of the Distribution of Seismic and Volcanic Events (40 marks) The Plate Tectonic Theory developed in the late 1960’s‚ when people noticed how continents either side of the Atlantic Ocean seemed to almost fit together. Francis Bacon‚ an English Philosopher was aware of this as early as 1620. Topographical and geological evidence built up and allowed Alfred Wegener to publish a theory in 1912‚ suggesting that the continents were once all joined

“The extent to which tectonic processes represent hazards depends on when and where they are experienced.” Tectonic hazards are dangers caused by the movement of the earth’s plates. The majority of hazards represent by plate tectonic occur at plate margins where two plates meet. These natural processes become hazardous when they affect people and cause material losses such as the destruction of infrastructure as this inhibits sustainable development. These hazards can be reduced depending on when

Regarding Henry The film Regarding Henry (1991) directed by Mike Nichols attempts to shed light on the phenomenon of amnesia or a loss of memory. Hollywood’s portrayal of memory tends to focus on the idea that‚ through rehabilitation‚ memory can recover. Memory is not something that can be pulled out of remission. Hollywood also emphasizes that memory is split up into different regions‚ a point furthered by the fact that Henry knows basic skills but fails to remember his family. Henry
