Activity No. 2 Simulating Movement of Tectonic Plates Problem: How do tectonic plates move? What you need: -4 pieces of colored modeling clay -cardboard -newspaper What to do: 1.Flatten two pieces of modeling clay on the newspaper. 2.Cut the center of the clay strips and insert a cardboard on the part of the clay that was cut. 3.Push both ends of the clay strips.Observed what is formed. 4.Repeat step one in the other two pieces of modeling clay. 5.Slowly pull both

Plate Tectonics: An Essay By: Grace Park Science 9 Mr. Achor 11-22-11 In the early 1900’s‚ scientists began to ask questions about the earth and it’s continents. Why are the same fossils found on opposite sides of the globe? Why do South America and Africa seem to fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle? Some scientists went to rather extreme measures to explain these strange phenomenons. Others took the time to come up with detailed theories

For my activity points‚ I attended the Plate of the Union political event‚ a group that is focused on getting healthy‚ affordable food to all Americans. The Plate of the Union holds monthly meetings at various locations around the city‚ at a variety of restaurants‚ focused on getting healthier foods on the menu‚ ones that support local farmers. This organization needs the government to pitch in‚ especially the President‚ since they would help bring more awareness to the cause and allow more funds

Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that the plate tectonics theory is valid. The theory of tectonic plates was first posed by Alfred Wenger in 1912. Is the theory of how the earth lithosphere is made up of many separate pieces of the earth’s crust known as tectonic plates. He put forward the idea that all the earth’s continents were once conjoined in one supercontinent called Pangaea‚ and that these continents were moved by convection currents over a period

Plate Tectonics Chart Amanda Wright GLG 150 February 24‚ 2013 Karen Hansen Plate Tectonics Chart 1) How does the motion of the tectonic plates affect the climate? Climate can be affected by many things. One of the biggest affects may be the motion of the tectonic plates. The Earths plates have been in motion approximately since its beginnings or shortly after‚ continuously causing climate to change. The Earth’s movement of plates as well as the apparent polar wandering can both play a role

A plate tectonic is defined as a solid rock mass that builds up the Earth’s surface. The plate tectonic theory is a theory that geologists use to help explain the surface processes and events. The word plate means large pieces of the earth that are always in motion‚ lithosphere plates. Tectonics means how the continents formed and move over time. This is the theory that most geologists accept as to what happened to our continents. It states that Earth is made up of two layers‚ the lithosphere

11/20/13 Earth Space Science Plate Tectonics Theory Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth is divided into a couple of dozen plates that move around across the earth’s surface relative to each other‚ like slabs of ice on a lake. Plate Tectonics is cause by convection currents in the mantle of the Earth. This theory was originally called continental drift. The theory of “Pangea” that is the continents were connected was Alfred Wegener. The age of the sea floor is

Biology Assessment: Influenza Structure: Viruses are non-cellular obligate intracellular parasites‚ requiring a living host cell in order to reproduce. A developed viral particle (virion) lacks the metabolic machinery of cells‚ containing just a single type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat or capsid. Viruses can be distinguished by their structure and by the nature of their genetic material (single or double stranded DNA or RNA). Viruses that affect humans are more difficult

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
