An interval of geologic time not represented by strata in a particular are is a HIATUS. 12. The two basic types of luster are METALLIC and NONMETALLIC 13. The three types of convergent boundaries are OCEANIC-OCEANIC‚ OCEANIC-CONTINENTAL‚ CONTINENTAL- CONTINENTAL. 14. At a mid-ocean ridge spreading center‚ what happens? The plates are moving away from each other. 15

Pangaea‚ Pangæa‚ or Pangea (pron.: /pænˈdʒiːə/ pan-JEE-ə;[1]) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras‚ forming about 300 million years ago.[2] It began to break apart around 200 million years ago.[3] The single global ocean which surrounded Pangaea is accordingly named Panthalassa. The name Pangaea is derived from Ancient Greek pan (πᾶν) meaning "entire"‚ and Gaia (Γαῖα) meaning "Earth". The name was coined during a 1927 symposium discussing Alfred Wegener’s

Describe in basic terms how elements were/are formed during the big bang (including the reasons why only H/He formed abundantly)‚ during normal stellar operation (including why some elements such as Si and Fe were formed more abundantly)‚ and during supernova processes/explosion Big bang only thing that forms out of the big bang is the nuetrons. Protons plus electrons = hydrogen. Hydrogen fuses the helium. There are no stable atoms with 5 or 8 nucleons (hydrogen would have 5‚ helium would have

rise and fall within the mantle‚ the crust breaks up into large pieces‚ called plates‚ which move about very slowly on earth’s surface. The movement of the plates creates powerful forces that continually create and destroy land features and reshape the earth’s surface. Most of the action takes place at the plate edges‚ or boundaries‚ where plates move against or over each other‚ or dive back below the surface. As the plates move‚ mountains are uplifted‚ the sea floor cracks and spreads‚ volcanoes erupt

Austronesian Migration Theory propounds on the expansion of a group of people called the Austronesians from Asia into the Pacific by means of Taiwan 6‚000 years ago. It was a theory proposed by Peter Bellwood a professor of Archeology. The theory largely explains the similarities in culture‚ language and physical attributes in different countries in the most Asian countries. The Austronesian migrations began from the Chinese mainland‚ reaching Taiwan first in 3500 BC then the Philippines by 3000
