TERRITORIAL CLAIMS BY THE PHILIPPINES 1. Sabah / North Borneo A majority of Filipinos everywhere are wondering what this Sabah claim is all about. The Philippine history books‚ Malaysian’s probably too‚ have not mentioned about the Philippines’ stake on the northern part of the island of Borneo. On the other hand‚ the Malaysians maybe furious that there are a lot of attention now being focused to that part of the Malaysian federation to which they believe was theirs since

2009). Pressure from surrounding rocks forces the magma to the surface through weak points‚ such as fractures and when it reaches the crust an explosion occurs with regard to the amount of pressure available and the viscosity of magma creating a subduction volcano. Volcanoes can additionally be formed when two tectonic plates move away from each other. The impact of the divergence of these plates leads to the melting of rocks in the mantle that melt from beneath the earth’s upper mantle and find

which causes an earthquake‚ or by human explosions. Earthquakes are concentrated along the plate boundaries. Not all earthquakes occur at the same depth‚ however. Where Hess had postulated that the rocks of the ocean floor were diving down into subduction zones‚ earthquakes occur at shallow depths of 0 to 33 km below the surface near the trenches‚ and depths of almost 700 km below the surface further inland.

Science Study Notes Inner Space Structure of the atom · An atom is the smallest part of an element that can be part of a chemical reaction - in other words‚ an atom is the smallest particle that can exist naturally · When two or more atoms join up they form a molecule. Atoms are generally found in the form of molecules. · An atom consists of a nucleus‚ which is made up of protons and neutrons. · Protons are positively charged particles. Neutrons have no charge.
