Speech The diverging plates below us are moving everyday; reshaping our world‚ slowly‚ but surely. These divergent boundaries are being studied around the world and they teach us about our evolved world‚ and its continuing evolution today. There are two types of divergent boundaries‚ the oceanic and the continental. These occur where their names have defined‚ within the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Both begin at the movement of the convection currents‚ which push plates up and away from

plasmids. It was hypothesized that if bacteria that were transformed with +pGlo plasmids are given the gene for GFP‚ then transformed cell colonies will be located on the LB/amp/ara and LB/amp agar plates. Cells that have been transformed with +pGlo plasmids have the ability to grow in ampicillin plates‚ and the arabinose sugar allows the colonies to be visibly fluorescent under ultraviolet light. The GFP is able to resist ampicillin because of the Beta- Lactamase protein that is produced and secreted

At the entrance to a home in Japan‚ the floor will usually be raised about 6 inches (15.24 cm.) indicating you should take off your shoes and put on slippers. If the house has a tatami mat room‚ its floor may be raised 1-2 inches (2.54-5.08 cm.) indicating you should take off your slippers. 2. Interested. 3. Tonight I

Subduction-when one continental plate slides under another‚ at a deep-ocean trench Deep-ocean trench-a place in the ocean where subduction occurs Mid-ocean ridge-a place in the ocean where new crust is constantly being added sea-floor spreading- the sea floor is constantly spreading as crust is subducting into the mantle and new crust is being formed plate-one of the rigid crustal blocks of the lithosphere which move horizontally across the earth’s surface relative to one another plate tectonics-explains

Assignment: Sedimentary Rocks * Where do sedimentary rocks originate? Sedimentary rocks are the most common rock on earth. Sedimentary rocks form at‚ or very near‚ the Earth’s surface where rocks particles transported by wind‚ water and ice are deposited on dry land‚ on the beds of rivers and lakes and in marine environments: beaches‚ deltas and the sea (Sedimentary Rocks‚ 2001). The earth surface is constantly moving‚ materials are continually being deposited through various parts of the

processes are predominant. Secondly‚ most of the tectonic plates in this region are diverging or converging. And finally‚ the volcanoes that occur in this region are as a result of stretching and thinning of the earth’s crust called ”non-hot spots”. Interplate volcanism such as the East Africa Rift which is an active narrow zone in which the African plate is in the process of splitting into two new tectonic plates called the Somali and the Habian plate. For the historical background of vulcanicity in East

Name: ******** Class: DME2 Title: Flow Measurement Date: 11/02/2013 Lecturer: Mr Higgins Summary: In this experiment many different meters were used to measure fluid flow rate; the orifice plate‚ the venture meter‚ the rota meter and the weigh tank. Each meter works by its ability to alter a certain physical property of the flowing fluid and then allows this alteration to be measured. The measured alterations are linked directly to the flow rate and these measurements are subbed in
