There has been an obvious escalation in seismic activity in Oklahoma that has left scientists as well as residents baffled as what could be the primary cause. The objective of this paper is to establish how the fracking processes of salt water disposal (SWD) and earthquakes are connected in Oklahoma. There has been previous examinations that has illustrated operations such as fracking sites throughout Oklahoma that were capable of producing a small quantity of earthquakes‚ however until now scientists

Hydrothermal Vents In 1977‚ Robert Ballard and J.F. Grassle of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Instution‚ were diving in Alvin near the Galapagos Islands when they discovered rocky chimneys up to 20 meters high. These chimneys were emitting dark‚ mineral-laden water that reached temperatures of 350 degrees Celsius. The occupants of Alvin had discovered the first documented hydrothermal vent. These vents are formally defined as "springs of hot‚ mineral- and gas-rich seawater found on some oceanic

Mount St. Helens Around 8:30AM May 18‚ 1980‚ located in Southern part of Washington Mount St. Helens Erupted. Many were surprised by this eruption. Mount St‚ Helens Erupted and killed over 60 people and about 7‚000 animals. Mount St. Helens is about 40‚000 years old. There was about 250 square miles long of damage of land. It destroyed about 160 miles of highway. The eruption traveled about 300 mph and was hot at an almost 700° F (350° C). If not hundreds of thousands‚ of small animals died from

There have been a couple supercontinents in the past. Three of them confirmed. The first of three is Rodinia. The second is Pannotia‚ and the third and most recent is Pangaea. These obviously aren’t here anymore and there won’t be another for a long time. From 50 million years to 200 million years. Could this actually happen again? The answer is yes. What even are supercontinents? One wouldn’t know if it could happen again if they don’t know what it is. Well‚ a supercontinent is several land

Tyler Miller Mr. Burbine AP Stat 8 September 2014 Mt Mukalukaliki Assignment In my experiment there will be a blocking of two groups. One group will be females that claim to have powers and the other group will be the males that claim to have powers. Females believe that they have greater powers than males based off opinion. I am splitting up the groups of males and females and make all 2 out of each group go sit by Mt Mukalukalili for a couple of hours. The only reason I’m doing such is because

Chapter 4 plate tectonics Need a Hint? 1.What evidence proved that South America‚ Africa‚ India‚ and Australia were once covered by glaciers? glacial deposits and rock surfaces scarred by glaciers 2. What happens when an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate? The denser oceanic plate slides under the less dense continental plate. 3. A divergent boundary is a boundary between two plates that __________. Move away from each other. 4.Do two colliding continental plates

How does lava temperature impact viscosity and velocity? The higher the temperature the lower the viscosity which allows it to develop a smooth surface skin‚ but this is quickly broken up by flow of molten lava‚ it creates a rough‚ clinkery surface. The lower the temperature of the magma the higher the viscosity which allows the lava to travel down the slope. In the group the average velocity was 0.91 cm/s . How the “lava” flowed was in a high viscosity and a low velocity because the “lava” was

Tectonic Activity and Hazards Discuss the relationship between the nature of tectonic hazards and human responses to them. The Mount Pinatubo eruption in 1991 is an example of a tectonic hazard. The response to this hazard will be different to the response in Iceland to the Mount Pelee eruption. The human responses to tectonic hazards are affected by several different factors: the income level of the location‚ the frequency‚ the magnitude‚ the population density of the area the hazard takes place

Acid rain is a common term for pollution caused when sulfur and nitrogen dioxides combine with atmospheric moisture to produce a rain‚ snow‚ or hail of sulfuric and nitric acids. Such pollution may also be suspended in a fog‚ or the pollutants may be deposited in dry form. Environmental damage from acid rain has been reported in northern Europe and North America. High levels of acid rain have also been detected in other areas of the world‚ such as above the tropical rain forest of Africa. Acid rain

Old Earth vs. New Earth Many Christian scholars are open to the belief in an old earth. One of these scholars is Colin Humphreys who believes that radioactive dating methods aren’t as accurate as most people think but they can still prove that we have a very old earth. Greg Koukl‚ is another Christian apologist‚ speaker‚ philosopher‚ and author who believes that the answer to the old earth/new earth lies in the heavens. The stars show light that takes millions of years to get to us. He argues that
