Lab: Plate Tectonics Goals of this lab: -to learn about types of Plate Boundaries -to learn about Plate Boundary Interactions -to familiarize yourself with the Plate Tectonic Map of the World -to understand and familiarize yourself with past Plate Movement and the supercontinent Pangea -to understand the Hot Spots of Hawaii and Yellowstone Part 1. Types of Plate Boundaries There are 3 types of plate boundaries and a fourth called a “plate boundary zone” in which the type of plate boundary

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus‚ from the Greek: τεκτονικός "pertaining to building")[1] is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere. The model builds on the concepts of continental drift‚ developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted the theory after the concepts of seafloor spreading were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. On

Plate boundaries Plate Boundaries is a theory of the global movement over a period of time. There are three main types of plate boundaries they are‚ transform boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ and divergent boundaries. Transform boundaries are where two plates are sliding past each other. These areas are also known as faults. Most transform boundaries are found on the ocean floor‚ a few however are found on land. Since these boundaries do not crunch together they to not tear or break

Plate tectonics Intro: The word tectonic represents the meaning of plates and boundaries. As an example of activity is an earthquake‚ which is caused by two plates like the Eurasian and pacific plate pushing towards each other‚ pushing the land upwards causing a mountain as well as an earthquake. The plates are pieces of land that make up the outer crust‚ these could move together‚ move apart or move alongside each other resulting in mountains‚ volcanoes and earthquakes‚ this happens deep

Microbiology is the study of living organisms that are too small to be clearly seen by the unaided eye. The science of Microbiology dates back only to 200 years‚ yet the recent discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in 3000 year old Egyptian mummy reminds us that microbes have been around for much longer. Infact‚ Bacterial ancestors were the first living things to appear on Earth. The First observations: One of the most important discoveries in the history of Microbiology occurred in 1665

Plate Tectonics Paper Michelle Tillman GLG/220 1/12/15 Jessica Terrien Dunn First and most important hazard is the ground actually shaking. This causes building to be damaged or the ground/foundation to settle different than it was. If the soil is liquefied then the building can actually sink into the ground. This can make the buildings also tip and lean. Los Angeles was built on a myriad of transform faults that include Santa Monica fault‚ the San Fernando fault‚ and Northridge/Santa Barbara fault

kingdom of microorganisms was brought into life 3 billion years ago. Since then «the earth is a fundamentally a microbial planet‚ to which the micro-organisms are recent the relatively unimportant additions» (Wheelis‚ Mark‚ Principles of modern microbiology‚ 2008‚ p.1). The term microorganisms consist of bacteria‚ archaea‚ fungi‚ and protest‚ which can either be unicellular or multicellular. They first have been studied by Anton van Leeuwenhoek by the use of his own design microscope‚ in 1675. However

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms which must be viewed with the aid of a microscope or electron microscope. The importance of microbiology includes: used in biomedical research‚ creation of medicines‚ environmental applications and new research tools. Disease causing organisms include: protists‚ bacteria‚ viruses and other microorganisms. Bacteria are important for fixing N2 in a usable form for plants. Bacteria and some fungi are important in decomposition and recycling
