sounding equipment on that would take measurements of the sea floor. It was at this time that Dr. Hess discovered features on the floor of the ocean that appeared to be mountains with the tops flattened.(called guyouts) Ewig invented explosion seismology (study of earthquakes ) ⦁ Through working together their developments enabled the theory of plate tectonics. In 1953‚ Maurice Ewing and Bruce Heezen discovered the Great Global Rift and inspired Hess to re-examine the data that he collected while

David Kelleher Geophysicists Discover Slippery Secret Of Weaker Underwater Earthquakes http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2007/ 1007-underwater_earthquakes.htm In December 2004‚ an underwater earthquake triggered a string of tsunamis along the Indian Ocean with devastating effects. Now‚ scientists have found ways nature is preventing some deep ocean earthquakes and save lives. Strong underwater earthquakes start off silent -- until their tsunami waves roar on shore‚ destroying property and

Introduction • Students often complain about Math and its application in life • Mathematics is “..the science of numbers and their operations‚ interrelations‚ combinations‚ generalizations‚ and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure‚ measurement‚ transformations‚ and generalizations.” Body A. Early Math skills directly correlate to scholastic achievement • Those who learned most math in Kindergarten had highest scores during further education • UC Irvine Distinguished

Residents in the Gujarat State of western India spent the night outside Friday‚ too fearful to go back into their damaged homes after India’s most powerful earthquake in half a century. The 7.9 magnitude earthquake killed as many as 2‚000‚ injured at least 2‚000‚ and left 4‚000 missing. Most of the missing are thought to be buried under rubble‚ and rescue workers dug frantically with bulldozers‚ shovels‚ sticks -- even bare hands -- trying to find them.

the Earth Has a Crust Just a century ago‚ we didn’t know the Earth has a crust. Until the 1900s all we knew was that our planet wobbles in relation to the sky as if it had a large‚ dense core. Astronomical observations told us so. Then along came seismology‚ which brought us a new type of evidence from below: seismic velocity‚ or the speed of sound in rock as measured using seismic waves from earthquakes. In 1909 a paper by the seismologist Andrija Mohorovicic established that about 50 kilometers

has no limits because bigger and stronger earthquakes are happening. The movement of tectonic plates causes earthquakes; there are seventeen in the world. Most of the boundaries are hidden under the ocean but they can be found using satellites. Seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves. Seismic waves are the waves created when rock in the tectonic plagues break and create energy because there is an explosion. This energy travels through earth and it is recorded using seismographs.
