Would the world be the same if there weren’t plate tectonics? The answer is no‚ because that is how the oceans‚ land‚ and many more things were created. There would be no rocks or plate boundaries. Every living thing on earth would have to adapt to these types of things‚ if there even was living things on earth. The different types of rocks like igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic have to go through a process to become that type of rock. Igneous is formed when magma is cooled and

Task-1(P1) a. ‘For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’ When a balloon is inflated plus released with no tying the inlet‚ the balloon flies all above the place as the air is released. The balloon and the air flowing out of the balloon travel in opposite directions. The Third Law of Motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This information can be used to create a balloon pinwheel. Tape the inlet of the balloon around the straw at the end opposite the

Divergent Evolution Evolution is the theory of organisms changing over time. The first two people to explore this theory were Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. There are four types of evolution‚ those being adaptive‚ convergent‚ divergent‚ and co-evolution. Divergent evolution is when two or more animals originate from a common genetic base. To prove divergent evolution in animals‚ the Ursus Maritimus or polar bear is an example. Divergent evolution is when similar animals branch off

Plate Tectonics Chart Amanda Wright GLG 150 February 24‚ 2013 Karen Hansen Plate Tectonics Chart 1) How does the motion of the tectonic plates affect the climate? Climate can be affected by many things. One of the biggest affects may be the motion of the tectonic plates. The Earths plates have been in motion approximately since its beginnings or shortly after‚ continuously causing climate to change. The Earth’s movement of plates as well as the apparent polar wandering can both play a role

Jaesung Lee Geography 1 Professor Thomas Orf Chapter 14 Questions 1) The first evidence Wegner was able to find was the remarkable number of close affinities of geologic features on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He found the continental margins of the subequatorial portions of Africa and South America fit together with jigsaw-on-like precision. He also determined that the petrologic records on both sides of the Atlantic show many distributions- such as ancient coal deposits-that would

| Lithosphere | Ecology (NASC 1093) | | The Lithosphere * The lithosphere is the hard shell of the Earth‚ consisting of the crust and the topmost part of the upper mantle. * It is a relatively thin layer‚ about 31 to 62 miles (50 to 100 km) thick under the oceans and 93 miles (150 km) thick on the continents. * It contains the minerals‚ rocks and soils that humans have used for building materials‚ metals and agriculture. * This layer is composed of the upper crust‚ about 3 miles

Decision-Making Process: Improving Our Ability to Make Decision Facing a situation‚ you have to decide. For example‚ the fire surrounds you: What do you do? Jump through the windows and risk to kill yourself or to wait the firemen and risk to be burned to death if they come to late? Every decision that we make or don’t make shapes our future. Everyone tries to make good decisions. However‚ it is easy to overlook an important factor‚ miss a desirable option‚ or base the decision on unreliable
