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 off on to one another. Convergent boundaries are where plates crash or crunch together. Here crust is destroyed

Observe a class in an elementary/secondary school in your area. Have a verbatim record of the teacher’s questions. Assess how well each question asked was able to move towards concept development. Analyze mistakes‚ if any‚ on the questioning process. Explain how you would have done the questioning and developed the concept as intended by the teacher.

Abstract This experiment is carried out to investigate the validity of Bernoulli’s theorem when appliedto the steady flow of water in tapered duct and to measure the flow rates and both static andtotal pressure heads in a rigid convergent/divergent tube of known geometry for a range of steady flow rates. The Bernoulli’s theorem ( Bernoulli’s t heorem‚ 2011) relates the pressure‚velocity‚ and elevation in a moving fluid (liquid or gas)‚ the compressibility and viscosity(internal friction)of

further evolution. In convergent evolution‚ unrelated species living in the similar environments become more and more alike in appearance as they adapt to the same kind of environment. Dolphins and sharks are examples of convergent evolution. Although they are from different vertebrate groups‚ they live in similar environment. They have evolved similar characteristics like their body shape‚ coloration‚ location of back fins‚ and shape of tail. Divergent evolution is the process of two

a 200- to 300-word response to the following: o Humans shape their environment in ways that other organisms cannot. Are humans subject to the same pressures of natural selection as other organisms? Why? o Provide an example of convergent and divergent evolution‚ adaptive radiation‚ and co-evolution. Then‚ respond to the following: • Choose one of the examples you provided and discuss the implications this example may have for future humans. • Cite outside sources in APA format

CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES Figure 3: Movement of Convergent Boundaries Convergent boundaries occur when two plates move towards each other‚ resulting in one plate moving underneath the other plate‚ creating a subduction zone (Kerey‚ 2007). Whether or not a plate will be subducted depends on its

on its own. Convergent and Divergent Evolution The above example of the opposable thumb in the panda bear and the opposable thumb in humans is also a good example of convergent evolution. OpenStax College (2013) tells us that convergent evolution is “where similar traits evolve independently in species that do not share a recent common ancestry” (p. 486). The opposable thumb of the panda is actually a wrist bone‚ whereas the human opposable thumb is one of its five fingers. Divergent evolution does

boundaries. There is convergent‚ divergent‚ and transform boundaries. They all do different motions. Convergent boundaries are boundaries where the two plates are coming at each other or converging. Divergent boundaries are boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other or diverging. Transform boundaries are boundaries where two plates are shearing past each other or one plate moves to the left and the other moves to the right. Convergent Boundary A convergent boundary consists of
