Convergent boundary

subduction zone beneath it. The subduction zone consists of the Australian plate and the Eurasian plate squeezing together at such force that the Australia plate slides beneath the Eurasian plate. The Mount Tambora eruption was caused by the convergent boundary where the Australian and Eurasian plates moved towards each other and clashed so the Australian plate slipped underneath creating a trench and increasing pressure. When Mount Tambora…

On planet earth, calamities that have devastating effects have occurred over the years with some natural being and others happening as a result of human interference. Disasters are always undesirable in any part of the world and bring about significant losses in life and property. Among the most severe calamities in the world since the old ages, earthquakes stand out as one of the most severe disasters. Earthquakes are calamities that cause a massive loss of life and property any time they occur…

as African, North American, South American, Eurasian, Australian, Antarctic and Pacific. Plates move different speed and different direction. Sometimes plates crushes it’s called convergent boundary. And when they pull apart it is called a divergent boundary. When the plates sideswipe, it is known as a transform boundary. Because of those movement volcanoes, earthquakes or both take place.…

a map of low-angle faults. Armstrong concluded that the faults on the map originated in the Tertiary Period (apx.66-2.58 Million Years Ago). Through his research he was able to conclude that the faults were not older convergent boundaries, but actually a series of divergent boundaries. The Sevier and Antler fault lines running through Nevada and Utah. This was his most valuable and significant achievement, it changed the way many geologists viewed the…

Teaching language learners can be very challenging but also very rewarding. Each language learner is usually at a different stage in the target language. This can make it difficult for a teacher to find ways to teach all the language learners in ways that will help them individually. According to Julianna Stancamoiano (2013) visuals, help learners grasp a concept because it allows the learner to “see” what they are learning. There are many ways to incorporate visuals in the classroom, you can…

Geology The Field of Geology didn’t become a major field until World war II, when the sea floor was mapped out in detail for submarines revealing a mid-Atlantic underwater mountain range, and a rift which started the theory of Plate Tectonics. Plate tectonics are used to explain the forming of mountains and even continents after the Pangaea. Plate tectonics explains that continents could have broken up, but there are 2 major theories on how. Catastrophist’s believe that a series of catastrophes…

3.3.2. Initial and Boundary Conditions. The pipe is subject to atmospheric pressure Po at time zero this represented initial condition . Boundary condition represented as at the pipe inlet profiles, uniform pressure Pinlet and its value change with concentration of nanofluid [φ%] and inlet temperature T0 = 60 ºC can be measured for all experimental . On the pipe wall, the pressure was atmospheric pressure Po . Moreover, flow and thermal fields are assumed symmetrical with respect to…

several years, scientists were able to confirm the earth having plates and plate boundaries. With the comparative movement of the plate tectonics, the interaction between them occurs along the boundaries. Plate boundaries, known as divergent, convergent, and transform, work differently yet have a unified impact on the movement and structure of the land. Almost all the Earth 's new crust forms at divergent boundaries, but most remain unknown because they lie within the bottom of the oceans.…

Grand Canyon “Beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. A flower is beautiful. But this is beautiful the way that a person is beautiful- terrifying with its jagged edges, yet seductive with its crevices that hide so many secrets.” (Jeri Smith-Ready, Requiem for the Devil) This quote explains how beautiful the Grand Canyon is perfectly I think. Let’s look past how breath taking the Grand Canyon is for a moment and dig deeper in how it really became to be interesting landform it is now. So let us…

Thus, volcanoes can be found along tectonic plate boundaries. However, Hawaii is not located at tectonic plate boundaries, but in the north central part of the Pacific plate. As with all tectonic plates, the Pacific plate has a predominant direction of flow as it floats over the viscous mantle of the earth and is moving in a northwesterly…
