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

has many major landforms and sources of water that surround it. Some landforms include Mount Meru which is an active volcano‚ Mount Kilimanjaro which is a dormant volcano‚ and the Usambra and Pare mountain ranges. The Gregory Rift is a major landform because it’s the eastern section of the Great River valley. Ol Doinyo Lengai is another native major landform to Tanzania; it is the only volcano in the world to produce netrocarbonatite lava. Tanzania is bordered by the Indian Ocean and contains many

uncommon for tribes to recognize higher power through various forms of art such as sculptures or drawings. Each artifact has a very specific use and helps connect them to the spiritual world. Through the work of the Tot Isu and Korwar I will explore how the people of Northwest New Guinea and the Solomon Islands use images to connect to the spiritual world. Toto Isu is an example of an image to facilitate the spiritual connections. Also called as Musu Musu and Nguzu Nguzu‚ is the traditional figurehead

The Himalayas – Young Fold Mountains The Himalayas are known to be young fold mountains. Young‚ because these have been formed relatively recently in the earth’s history‚ compared to older mountain ranges like the Aravallis in India‚ and the Appalachian in the USA. They are known as fold mountains because the mountains extend for 2500 km in length in a series of parallel ridges or folds. The accepted theory about the formation of the Himalayas started to take shape in the year 1912 when German

June 2011 plate tectonics and associated hazards Comment on the extent to which the features shown in the image support the theory of plate tectonics. To begin with we can see that many of the landmasses appear as separated jigsaw pieces with their complementary shaped coastlines. One example of this is how the North Western coastline of Africa could quite easily ‘slot into’ the North Eastern Coastline of America. This suggests that in the history of the Earth‚ these two land masses were once connected

Landforms of Europe Europe‚ the planet’s 6th largest continent‚ includes 47 countries and assorted dependencies‚ islands and territories. Europe’s recognized surface area covers about 9‚938‚000 sq km (3‚837‚083 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth’s surface‚ and about 6.8% of its land area. In exacting geographic definitions‚ Europe is really not a continent‚ but part of the peninsula of Euroasia which includes all of Europe and Asia. However‚ it’s still widely referred to as an individual continent

does the thickness of ocean floor sediments increase the farther they are from a ridge?! -Thickness of ocean floor sediments increase the farther they are from a ridge because when new rocks form at the ridge‚ old rocks move away from the centre and this rocks stack along the end of sediments which pile up for long time that creates thick sediments‚! ! 10. How does sea floor spreading explain the movement of tectonic plates?! - Sea floor spreading in movement of tectonic plates is called divergent
