May 22nd, 1960 in the afternoon at 7:11, people in Chile would lose their lives, because of a 9.5 magnitude earthquake. This catastrophe occurs when the Nazca plate released tension and descended 15 meters under the South American plate. Since the earthquake occurred in the middle of the Pacific Ocean it resulted with horrible tsunamis hitting the coast of Chile, Hawaii and Japan. This earthquake was enough to leave people homeless and dead. The destruction cost millions of dollars. Lastly, the…

In the first article, “Earthquake Kills Scores in Mexico,” we find some background on how Mexico city was destroyed by an 8.1 magnitude earthquake. The tragedy made the first page of the New York Times on September 20, a day after the disaster happened. According to the article, more than 40 buildings collapsed throughout the city. Many people were trapped under the rubble of the fallen buildings. Mexico was first built on top of a lake. This makes for a slightly different urban structure than…

powerful eruption of a volcano in the past 500 years thats has struck Indonesia. The creation and eruption of Mount Tambora can be contributed to the interaction between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plate. The plate with higher density subducts under the plate with lower density. As the plate goes under, it melts and forms a magma plume and composite cone volcano. The eruption of Mount Tambora sent molten rock more than 40 kilometres high and blew out a cloud of ash that covered a million…

Volcanoes 1. “A volcano is a rupture in the Earth’s crust which allows magma/ash/gases to escape from beneath the surface. When magma reaches the surface of the Earth, it is called lava” (). 2. Volcanoes happen around the frame of tectonic plates, causing the plates to move away or crash into one another. 3. When material is much warmer than its atmosphere, and explodes onto the base of a planet or moon from the inside, a volcano occurs. Topic #2: What Causes a Volcano to Erupt? 1. Magma is…

Neotectonics in Australia. Abstract The cratons of the world that are located at a distance from plate boundaries are considered to be stable tectonically, but in real sense, they are subjected to regular disturbance that are less persistence and also of lesser magnitude than those that lies near plate boundaries, Nonetheless their manifestation can be seen in landscape. Neotectonics are post Miocene tectonic deformation on the earth surface. Its evidence takes expression in form of recent…

Northwest was hit by a 45 second, 6.8 magnitude intraslab earthquake called the Nisqually or “The Ash Wednesday” earthquake. The Nisqually earthquake occurred when the Juan de Fuca plate subducted under the North American plate, this quickly released the built up strain. This was caused by mineral changes as the plate moved farther into the mantle. The Nisqually earthquake hit the southern end of Puget Sound causing damage to the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. Most of the property damage…

Only two of the agar plates actually developed properly, one of them was the ampicillin agar plate with no plasmid (Fig 1: top left) because there was no growth seen. This was the expected result because since ampicillin kills the bacteria, the E. coli cells should not have been able to survive in the environment…

After the agar plate was divided, they were then labeled “E. Coli + fresh/dry specific spice. Each of the eight agar plates were labeled this was and then ¼ of the agar plate was labeled control. This is where the plain 7mm disc went and this acted as the control of the experiment. Before any of the discs were put on the agar plate, the agar plate was prepared by making a bacterial lawn. In order to do this, a cotton swab was dipped…

cell allowing the plasmids to enter the host cell. The solutions were later poured into six different agar plates. Three of the agar plates contained ampicillin and the other three do not contain ampicillin. The control pUC18, lux, and competent cell solutions were split between the six agar plates. A portion of each solution was poured onto its own agar plate. Half was poured onto an agar plate with…
