In her painting‚ Plate with Wreath‚ Robin Jebavy uses everyday objects and combines them with unordinary colors as an attempt to make people change how they think about their everyday life. Jebavy herself states that her artwork is “a reference to our fragile and often precarious human condition.” The manner in which she uses color allows for the objects‚ such as plates and glasses‚ to be unrecognizable at first glance. She does this to blur the sense of reality and illusion that all people have

in Japan at 5:46 am. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale. The quake only lasted 20 seconds‚ but killed over 6‚400 people. This earthquake was caused by the subduction of the denser oceanic Philippines Plate by the lighter continental Eurasian Plate. During the 20 second earthquake‚ the ground moved 50cm horizontally and 1m vertically. This caused over 350‚000 people to become injured. More than 7‚500 wooden houses completely collapsed. Some buildings built in the 1960’s

Excellent clip 2011 Japan Tsunamis Mega tsunami caused by a landslide July 9th 1958 Explanation Outline causes A tsunami can be generated when destructive plate boundaries abruptly move and vertically displace the overlying water. It is very unlikely that they can form at constructive or conservative plate boundaries. This is because constructive or conservative boundaries do not generally disturb the vertical displacement of the water column. Subduction zone related earthquakes

Standards Addressed Lesson 13: Plate Tectonics I Overview Lesson 13 introduces students to geological oceanography by presenting the basic structure of the Earth and the properties of Earth’s primary layers. Students learn the structure and composition of oceanic and continental crust and the theory of plate tectonics. In the activity‚ students calculate the rate of movement of the Pacific Plate using information about the age of the Hawaiian Islands. Lesson Objectives Students will: 1. Describe

Theory of Continental Drift The seven continents used to be one giant continent named Pangea. They spread apart and became what the continents are today. The shapes of the continents line up‚ the fossils line up with how the continents‚ the rock formations on both sides of the Atlantic line up with the fossils and coastlines‚ and climatic evidence proves the Theory of Continental Drift. The first piece of evidence for Continental Drift is the shapes of the continents. All of the continents fit

marinebio.net states‚ Wailea-Makena‚ Hawaii‚ East Maui County was caused by a hotspot or an extra hot plume of molten rock. This happens when heat rises as a thermal cloud from inside of the Earth. Heat and pressure at the bottom of the tectonic plate forces magma to form which then rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes. As volcanoes move away from a hotspot‚ they start to erode and become inactive. Maui is the third oldest volcano of the main Hawaiian islands and could still erupt one

The causes of tectonic plate movement and how different processes have shaped New Zealand’s landforms occur nearly every single day. In fact one of these processes is happening right now‚ somewhere on the Earth. The 3 major processes are folding‚ faulting and volcanism. While these take place‚ another “force” is also acting‚ changing the shape of our continents‚ and Earth itself‚ the tectonic plate movement. Earth’s outer shell‚ long thought to be a continuous‚ unbroken‚ crust is actually a fluid

THE CARIBBEAN is a geologically complex region that displays a variety of plate boundary interactions including subduction in the Lesser Antilles and Central America‚ transcurrent (strike-slip) motions on the northern and southern boundaries‚ and sea floor spreading in the Cayman Trough. The central Caribbean is a lithospheric plate consisting mainly of an anomalously thick‚ oceanic plateau situated between two major continental regions and therein

tectonic plates. Because of the pressure within the crust increases slowly over hundreds of years and finally exceed the strength of the plates‚ earthquakes take place. Human activities can also be the cause of significant earthquakes. Human beings carried out many activities that increase stress in the earth’s crust which lead to earthquakes. For example‚ injecting fluid into deep wells for waste disposal‚ filling reservoirs and firing underground nuclear test blasts. Since the tectonic plates and humans
