earths crust. As it moved along the crust‚ friction caused the plates to move. These convection currents beneath the earths surface forced the Australian plate to collide with the Pacific plate. Along this plate boundary‚ the pacific plate was being subducted underneath the Australian plate- which held the North Island of New Zealand. This made the Australian plate near the boundary buckle and bend as it pressed up against the Pacific plate. The limestone that was formed on the seabed was then forced

before the bone growth plates have closed. The most common cause of too much growth hormone release is a noncancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary gland. The consequence is an accelerated growth rate and increased height as well as a number of additional soft tissue changes. * The growth plate‚ also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis‚ is the area of growing tissue near the ends of the long bones in children and adolescents. Each long bone has at least two growth plates: one at each end.

choose 2 extracts per group. The plants being tested are Oregano‚ Tea tree‚ Eucalyptus and Colloidal Silver. Obtain two nutrient agar plates and using a permanent marker draw four quadrants on the bottom of each agar plate. Using a sterile pipet transfer 250 ml of E. coli broth to the middle of each petri dish and evenly spread bacterial culture around the agar plate. Cover and allow the culture to soak into agar for at east 15 minutes. Using sterile forceps‚ carefully place one filter disk from

result of it. The volcanic ash fell as far as San Francisco‚ which is 2‚996.8 miles from Santa Maria. The volcano didn’t calm down until three days after the first roars. The volcano was formed when the Cocos plate converged with the Caribbean plate. The Cocos plate moves under the Caribbean plate this process is called subduction. When Cocos melts‚ hot magma rises

has been slowly accumulating. The earth is made up of tectonic plates these are massive slabs of rock floating on magma ‚as the plates move about‚ they spread apart‚ collide‚ or slide past each other‚ This is the main cause of volcanoes and earthquakes Earthquakes occur in many regions all over the world in some regions they occur more frequently and severely than in others (depending on the location)‚ the main cause of earthquakes is tectonic plates grinding against each other ‚ therefore earthquakes occur

which Japan had ever recorded and can only be explained by plate tectonics. As seen in figure 3‚ the earthquake occurred in a subducting zone where the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate are converging. Figure 4 shows the continental Eurasian plate being subducting the oceanic Pacific plate and every year the pacific plate travels a distance of nine centimetres towards

pieces of evidence towards proving that the plate tectonics theory is valid” Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement (40m) The theory of plate tectonics explains the structure and motion of the Earth’s lithosphere. The theory states that the Earth’s crust is split into large sections called tectonic plates‚ and these move relative to one another creating boundaries at which the plates converge‚ diverge or move past each other. These plates are either continental or oceanic and are

The subducting plate dips more steeply at greater depths”(USGS). The quake occurred when the Earth’s crust‚ a 1‚200 km segment of the crust‚ shifted
