has been falsely punished and hasn’t done anything wrong (quote). Due to his wrong doings we feel he is not a hero‚ as this is not typical of one. However his proclaiming of innocence causes us to feel empathy for him. “A year this very day” shows how things have changed over a short period of time. We learn the public has forgotten about him and even when he’s being marched to his death only a few people were there “Just a palsied few”. This causes us to think his so called crime could not have

boundaries by which an oceanic plate slides slowly under a continental plate into the Earth’s mantle‚ as the result of pressure and friction. After a long period of time the overriding continental plate is lifted up creating a mountain range. This is how the Himalayas were formed. Sometimes the extreme heat and pressure exerted on the subducting oceanic plate causes an uplift of magma from the mantle which rises above the surface‚ creating a volcano. When two plates are moving they don’t always slide

The Impact Of Plate Tectonics on the Caribbean * The Caribbean Plate is a mostly oceanic tectonic plate underlying Central America and the Caribbean Sea off the north coast of South America. * Volcanic activity in the Caribbean itself‚ as distinct from Central America‚ is largely limited to the eastern Caribbean. Here‚ the Caribbean plate‚ moving approximately west to east‚ meets the North American plate‚ which is moving approximately east to west. This creates what is known as a seductions

points in this report revolve around tectonic plate subduction‚ uplift around the Denali fault‚ and the rock composition of the mountain. The combination of these three forces are integral reasons for why the mountain has been able to grow to its size and why it’s been able to maintain its height. To understand how subduction has affected Denali and the Alaska mountain range‚ you first need to understand how plate tectonics work. The theory of plate tectonics centers on the idea that the Earth’s

‘Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid.’ Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement. (40 marks) Over the years proceeding the birth of the theory‚ increasingly convincing evidence has been gathered for proof of the theory of plate tectonics. In 1912‚ Alfred Wegner proposed the theory that continents are sat upon tectonic plates and that these plates are slowly drifting around the Earth (continental drift).

Hazards are anything that could cause damage to humans or buildings. Many volcanic and seismic events happen that cause hazards to humans. Often the world’s poorest people are hit the worst‚ however wealthier countries can also be adversely affected. The Kobe earthquake in Japan 1995 struck at 5.45am. Many people were asleep in bed‚ causing the hazard to be increased because the people were unaware. Although many Japanese buildings were of aseismic design‚ the roofs of their houses were designed

Plate Tectonics‚ Earthquakes‚ and Volcanoes Renee Kuraly 1. There are 13 tectonic plates. (several smaller ones) 2. Evidence for continental drift includes: coastline fit‚ alignment of mountain ranges‚ similar rock sequences‚ fossils‚ modern fauna‚ and ancient climates. 3. We know plate boundaries exist because their defined by earthquake data and the depths of earthquakes show what type of boundary they are. 4. Divergent Boundary- places where plates are moving apart. Convergent Boundary-

Continental Drift‚ Plate Tectonics‚ The North American Plate The experts and scientists have theories on how the the world’s plates move and how earthquakes occur. These theories on how the world’s plate move is called continental drift and the theory on how earthquakes occur is called plate tectonics. They also have a lot of information on the North American Plate and in which direction it is moving and information like that. Now let me tell you more about each of these topics. Continental

‘The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people’ to what extent do you agree with this view? (40 marks) Volcanic and sesmin events and activities can take place all over the world and therefore both more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically develop countries (LEDCs) can be affected. In the last 30 years there have been masses of examples of where volcanic and seismis event have had an impact on both MEDCs and
