AN EARTHQUAKE IN AUSTRALIA Australia has a relatively low rate of seismicity due to its location towards the centre of the Indo-Australian Tectonic Plate. Earthquake activity is much higher around the margins of the Indo-Australian Plate‚ for example In places such as Indonesia‚ Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. Nevertheless‚ many historic earthquakes have Occurred in Australia and Geosciences Australia’s database (QUAKES) contains information on tens of thousands Of historic earthquakes in the

are abrupt movements on the ocean floor that can result from an earthquake. Tsunamis are most often caused when an earthquake causes the seafloor to rise or fall. Earthquakes happen when two tectonic plates collide into each other at a plate boundary. The denser plate is subducted under the other plate‚ which leads to a rise or fall of the sea floor. This movement of the seafloor will cause a rapid vertical displacement of water‚ and waves of a tsunami would form. As the wave approaches the coastline

The SAF is located in Northern California‚ and extends to Cajon Pass in the San Bernardino Mountains. The SAF was formed around fifteen to twenty million years ago. the fault‚ classified as a Right Lateral Strike-Slip fault‚ was formed when the North American and Pacific plates came into contact with each other.

What is the potential for future earthquakes in the Los Angeles area? Earthquakes are started at the Earth’s crust. Our planet is made up of different plates which float on a layer of molten material or magma much like potato chips would float on top of a bowl of water. Scientists believe there could be as many as 12 plates that make

Speech The diverging plates below us are moving everyday; reshaping our world‚ slowly‚ but surely. These divergent boundaries are being studied around the world and they teach us about our evolved world‚ and its continuing evolution today. There are two types of divergent boundaries‚ the oceanic and the continental. These occur where their names have defined‚ within the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Both begin at the movement of the convection currents‚ which push plates up and away from

plasmids. It was hypothesized that if bacteria that were transformed with +pGlo plasmids are given the gene for GFP‚ then transformed cell colonies will be located on the LB/amp/ara and LB/amp agar plates. Cells that have been transformed with +pGlo plasmids have the ability to grow in ampicillin plates‚ and the arabinose sugar allows the colonies to be visibly fluorescent under ultraviolet light. The GFP is able to resist ampicillin because of the Beta- Lactamase protein that is produced and secreted

At the entrance to a home in Japan‚ the floor will usually be raised about 6 inches (15.24 cm.) indicating you should take off your shoes and put on slippers. If the house has a tatami mat room‚ its floor may be raised 1-2 inches (2.54-5.08 cm.) indicating you should take off your slippers. 2. Interested. 3. Tonight I

Assignment: Sedimentary Rocks * Where do sedimentary rocks originate? Sedimentary rocks are the most common rock on earth. Sedimentary rocks form at‚ or very near‚ the Earth’s surface where rocks particles transported by wind‚ water and ice are deposited on dry land‚ on the beds of rivers and lakes and in marine environments: beaches‚ deltas and the sea (Sedimentary Rocks‚ 2001). The earth surface is constantly moving‚ materials are continually being deposited through various parts of the
