Marine seismic looking over applies the investigation of sound vitality and seismology to delineate structures under the seabed. Towed gadgets produce blasts of acoustic (sound) waves that go through the water and afterward skip back to recipients that measure the quality and return time of every wave. Listening to a voice reverberation in a void room takes a shot at a comparative guideline. The distinction, obviously, is that a human voice does not have the ability to infiltrate layers of rock.…

earthquake is the underwater tectonics of plate or shifting plates of the earth crust. Two blocks of the ocean floor slip past one another and bumping into each other. The reason is the surface of Earth or lithosphere (first two internal layers of Earth) consist tectonic plates which about 50 km to 140 km thick and continuously moving slowly upon a bed of magma in the asthenosphere (third internal layer of Earth) (Pasyanos, 2008). This sudden shift of the plates called fault plane produces a…

Oceanic plates collide with continental plates, resulting in oceanic plate subduction creating volcanic activity most of the time near convergence zones. While, continental to continental plate collisions sculpts flat landscapes into a high chain of mountains, diverging oceanic floors create underwater ridges. Diverging plate boundaries spread plates due to the outward movement, contributed by the upwelling coming from forces…

The earth was not only cracked but it appeared to be cracked in pieces scientist call these pieces tectonic plates when scientist realized that the earth was broken into plates they finally had enough evidence to explain how it was that continents could move. The theory that explains plate movement is called plate tectonics. To understand more about plate tectonics and continental drift we have to look deep inside the earth the earths interior consist of several different layers…

In the year 2010, two magnified earthquakes had happened in the west hemisphere. When people lamented about the death of friends and families, the differences in casualties and collapse between these two earthquakes raise people’s awareness. In January, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake stroked Haiti, causing 220,000 people died. In contrast, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake which released 500 times more energy than Haiti’s, rattled Chile but only causes 525 people to die. When seeking the answers to the…

Tectonics Dr. Gifford 10/14/2016 Formation of the Rocky Mountains Abstract • How did they form? • Sevier orogeny • Laramide orogeny • prevailing theory (flat slab subduction) 1. Very low angle subducting slab 2. rubbing against underside of North American plate 3. first proposed by william dickinson (1978) 4. another good paper Peter Bird (1988) • Alternative theories 1. Craig jones - suction model 2. (maxson, Tikoff 1996) - Hit and run collision model "I 'll come back to it" Introduction…

In this film, the eruption of the once dormant Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E. is discussed. It is a volcano that is right between two tectonic plates, so when an earthquake shook it, it finally exploded. The eruption was one that was 1000 times more powerful than the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima. The town of Pompeii was located just below the volcano, and did not stand a chance against its wrath. At the end of Vesuvius’s eruption, Pompeii was covered in sixteen feet of ash. About sixteen centuries…

hot magma that flows from the volcano is dangerous and burns everything in its path. Two volcanoes that have always caught my eye is Hawaii’s Kilauea and Japan’s Mount Fujiyama. Both volcanoes are located on an island that was formed due to tectonic plates shifting, furthermore both volcanoes represent different types of volcano forms, however, Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano is still active while Japan’s Mount Fujiyama has not erupted since between 1707-1708. Havelock Ellis once said, “All…

In January of 1994, a 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit the San Fernando valley in Los Angelas, CA. In January of 2010 a 7 magnitude earthquake hit 15 miles south of the city of Port-au-Prince Haiti. Both earthquakes occurred in extremely population dense areas. Both were similar in strength. However, while the Haitian earthquake killed close to 300,000 people by some accounts, the Northridge Earthquake killed 57. While some argue the actual death toll to be as low as 84,000 in Haiti, that is still…

on what plates it is located on, what landforms are around it, etc. Axial Seamount is an underwater volcano located in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean, about 483 kilometers (300 miles) off the coast of Oregon. Because its frequent volcanic activity, the first underwater volcano observatory is located near the volcano. (www.pmel.noaa.gov) According to www.en.wikipedia.org, the two plates that create the boundary are called the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American Plate. These two plates form…
