    • 2 Pages

    The above diagram illustrates the volcanic activity on Venus, it indicates how activity this planet has been and still is. There is no evidence of plate tectonics on Venus along with no long linear volcano chains. There are also no clear subduction zones. Rifts are very common on Venus and they look much like the mid-ocean ridges on Earth. Volcanoes on Venus are much more regional and less organized then here on Earth. Volcanoes on Venus seem to have simple and fewer eruptive styles than the…

    To look at the fundamental ideas of the theory of folding and to help understand the theory in context, explore it amongst the features of post modern architecture. look at works by architects such as Peter Eisenmann and see how he has interpreted the theory of folding as an alternative interpretation of conceptual design. in which one building has a continuous form (folding), and one has a fragmented form (deconstructivism) - two buildings in relation to deleuzes theory through discussion and…

    During the Gilded Age , the United States saw the growth of the economy, the development of new technologies and products that would definitely help improve the way of living of the middle class citizens, but in this period of time also came with many downfalls such as the corruption made by ineffective politicians, child labor, low wages for massive amount of working hours, and the poor treatment toward minorities and women. However, it was not until the Progressive Era , when the United States…

    Question 2- The principal means by which heat can be transferred are radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation is the only way the sun's heat reaches earth. Body with temperature above absolute zero will emit thermal radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves like infrared. Conduction usually involves solid matter, especially metals, but lesser with fluids and gases. Convection usually involves liquid. Conduction may occur alongside if involving solid…

    Water Table Comparison

    • 499 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Water Tables Comparisons This paper will be comparing the water table data for two locations, Berkeley, California and Terre Haute, Indiana. The work will compare each location’s water usage and characteristics about their water tables. Each location’s geographic position, topography, elevation, climate, wind patterns, and moisture levels are key factors for the supply and demand of their respective water tables. Berkeley, California is located on the east banks of San Francisco Bay. It…

    Uranium 235

    water. It is element number 92 and this specific isotope has 235 nucleons. This indicates to us that Uranium 235 has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and 143 neutrons. Uranium’s slow radioactive decay is the main source of heat inside the earth, causing convection and continental drift. Uranium 235 is the only naturally occurring fissionable fuel (can sustain a chain reaction) in the world. U-235 is special because it can readily split, which would create a lot of energy. It is called ‘fissile’. When…

    happing right beneath us all the time. The tectonic plates are moving incredibly slowly, at a rate of about 5-10 centimetres every year. Continental drift occurs because hot liquid magma is rolling around underneath the surface of the earth with a convection current. The current of the flowing magma moves plates that are resting atop it. The magma pulls the tectonic plates around and away from each other and sometimes back into each other. When the supercontinent Gondwana broke up, each piece…

    Physics Experimental investigations Will heating honey speed up how it falls from a spoon? The speed of falling of honey from an object depends on its viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of how much a fluid resists movement of a mass through it. It is the internal friction of a substance that causes it to be thick, sticky and adhesive. Apparatus needed for this investigation is: Electronic balance 750 grams of honey (around 530 mL / 530 cm3) Thermometer Bunsen burner / other source of heat /…

    The continuous movement of the heated substances in the planet’s interior causes tectonism to proceed, and some planets in modernity still have active tectonism, such as Mars, Earth and Venus. Planets that are miniscule are found to cool off quicker due to to the proportion of volume to area, which causes smaller planets to desist to have plate tectonics faster than larger planets. The absence or presence of tectonism on a planet circumducts around the capacity of the planet and the amount of…
