Running Head: Plate Tectonics Paper Plate Tectonics Paper University of Phoenix Plate Tectonics Paper Earthquakes‚ volcanoes‚ mountains and the Earth’s crust are unique yet have one common denominator; the amazing topic of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics has a place or specifically places a role in each of these natural wonders of the world. In the following‚ Team C will discuss the theory of plate tectonics and how the theory shaped the form and composition of the movement within

subsides along a fault or crack. Benchmark Permanent cement or brass marker in ground indicating a measured elevation. Isostasy Condition of balance or equilibrium in Earth’s crust. Since the upper mantle acts like a very dense fluid‚ the crustal plates float on top of it. Any change in one part of the crust is offset by a corresponding change in another part of the crust. Example of Isostasy

Dr. GEORGE ROMBO Cholera This is an infection of the small intestine caused by bacterium vibrio cholera. Transmission is mostly from the fecal contamination of food and water that is caused by poor sanitation Susceptibility About 100 million bacteria must typically be ingested to cause cholera in a normal healthy adult. Children are also more susceptible with 2- 4 year old having the highest rates of infection Individual susceptibility to cholera is also affected by their blood type with

Systems Biology Systems biology involves the study of an organism as one single system. Instead of analysing all the individual components that make up a cell‚ the cell is instead viewed as an interacting network of genes‚ proteins and biochemical reactions and these are studied as a whole. In 20th century‚ molecular biology was focused upon. A ‘reductionist’ approach was followed‚ in which the individual components‚ such as the cell nucleus or sugar metabolism‚ were studied in isolation. However

The History of plate tectonics Before the plate tectonics revolution of the 1960’s geographers had a very basic understanding of global geological phenomena’s. while there had been many theory’s put fort that were used to try and explain these phenomena’s none had been completely successful till finally In the 1960’s The theory of plate tectonics was put forth. It was truly a unifying concept as it helps us to explain and finally understand many different aspects of geography such as the geography

Constructive Plate Boundary Definition: (Divergent boundary) - Where two plates move away from each other and new oceanic crust is formed. What is a Constructive Plate Boundary? At divergent plate margins‚ plates are moving apart and new lithosphere is being created. In the oceans‚ this has produced the mid ocean ridge system‚ which can also be described as a global range of underwater mountains. Well known ocean ridges include the Mid Atlantic Ridge‚ the East Pacific Rise‚ the Juan de Fuca

“P” plate drivers and fatal traffic accidents‚ continues to be a serious public health concern with the main age group being between 17-25 (Transport for NSW 2013a). P plate drivers are 33% more likely to have a crash than L plate drivers (Monash University 200). This is due to a number of factors such as: Inexperience Poor decision making Willingness to take risks whilst driving The influence of peer pressure Alcohol and drug use Stress and fatigue. Young drivers are constantly shown

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
