Practical guide to detection and identification of Phytophthora Leaf blight A number of Phytophthora species cause leaf blight. These include: P. infestans on potato and tomato; P. palmivora on a large number of tropical fruit species including rubber‚ durian and macadamia; and P. colocasiae on taro. These blights on leaves are first seen as small flecks but within 3-5 days they expand to produce large lesions. Initially‚ infected tissue is water soaked but becomes necrotic (brown or black) in

Discuss the evidence for tectonic plate movement There has been a variety of different evidence for tectonic plate movement but the main evidence was Wegener’s theory which was based on a variety of different evidence from several sciences. Alfred Lothar Weneger was a German polar researcher‚ geophysicist and meteorologist‚ he first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. In 1912‚ he proposed his explanation – the

Lab Report - Microbes Aim: To investigate four areas of the school and to find out which of the four have the most microbes. Areas to Sample: 1. Girl’s locker room (Senior school) 2. Girl’s locker room (Elementary school) 3. Boy’s locker room (Senior school) 4. Boy’s locker room (Elementary school) Hypothesis: We predict that the boy’s locker room in the senior school will have the most microbes. First of all‚ there are more people using our locker rooms in the Senior School

one another. These pieces slowly assumed their present positions as the continents. PLATE TECTONIC THEORY Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the lithosphere) 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. There are seven or eight major plates and many minor plates. Where plates meet‚ their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent‚ divergent‚ or transform

Constructive Plate Margin * This is where two plates move apart be it any combination of crust type either sial or sima. At a sima and sima divergence such as the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate‚ both crusts diverge leaving magma to rise up. This with aid from the cool ocean water solidifies and creates gentle sloping volcanos with basic basaltic lava with low viscosity. The type of volcanoes found at these margins are shield and fissure volcanoes. At this specific plate margin‚ at
