authorities considered (or consider) the rise of seas associated to climate change. This last one depends on the convergence or the divergence of scientists’ views about a given event (here the strength and the range of the rise of the seas). Case 1: Convergent views among scientists. The convergence may bear about some high or moderate increase of the sea level. The decision-takers will accept more easily moderate ones than high ones. Nevertheless‚ the most important is the consensus among scientists’

The Dynamic Crust‚ Earthquakes and the Earth’s Interior Why is the Earth’s crust described as being dynamic? Crust- solid rock outer zone of Earth The crust is part of the lithosphere. The Earth’s crust is dynamic which means constantly changing. Earthquakes Volcanoes Crustal movements along fault zones Other evidence indicates that parts of the Earth’s crust have been moving to different locations for billions of years. Describe pieces of evidence that suggest minor changes in the Earth’s

They stated that most often divergent thinking test are scored for ideational fluency of a total numbers of ideas. Creativity and flexibility is influence by test scored test and the unique or unusual ideas of number categories. Also performance on divergent thinking task is impact by the test setting. One way of improve our knowledge and creativity is by taking training to expand ourselves

tests. Emphasis on abstract logical reasoning seemed to restrict intelligence to “convergent thinking” towards pre-determined answers but excluded the type of "divergent thinking" which leads to imaginative or creative innovation. Guilford (1965) introduced a model of the structure of the intellect which differentiated between a number of cognitive operations‚ including convergent and divergent thinking. Divergent thought soon became equated with creativity‚ but although his concepts of fluency

GAS DYNAMICS AND JET PROPULSION 1. What is the basic difference between compressible and incompressible fluid flow? Compressible 1. Fluid velocities are appreciable compared with the velocity of sound 2. Density is not constant 3. Compressibility factor is greater than one. 2. Write the steady flow energy equation for an adiabatic flow of air. In an adiabatic flow q = 0. Therefore energy equation becomes. 2 c12 c2 h1 + + gZ1 = h2 + + gZ 2 + Ws 2 2 Incompressible 1. Fluid velocities are small

In the early 1960s‚ the emergence of the theory of plate tectonics started a revolution in the earth sciences. Since then‚ scientists have verified and refined this theory‚ and now have a much better understanding of how our planet has been shaped by plate-tectonic processes. We now know that‚ directly or indirectly‚ plate tectonics influences nearly all geologic processes‚ past and present. Indeed‚ the notion that the entire Earth’s surface is continually shifting has profoundly changed the way

Topographic Patterns Uncheck all of the layers and focus on topographic features of the earth. Topography of the earth ABOVE sea level Questions Answers 1. Are mountains randomly distributed on the continents‚ or do they tend to occur in particular patterns (clusters‚ linear chains‚ arcs‚ etc.)? Some appear in lines and others in arcs 1pt 2. Find Mt.

Being so close to an active volcano poses many risks to communities. Even though Mount St. Helens erupted over 30 years ago we know that it is still an active volcano. Future eruptions can kill and injure entire communities. Since the eruption in May of 1980 of Mount St. Helens‚ geologists have come to a better understanding of both the mechanics of volcanoes and the dangers they present to the environment and communities. Did you know that volcanic ash is actually small glass particles? Or that
