Crust

the earth is not round. In fact it is a spheroid. Isaac Newton was the first to propose that the earth isn’t round. Newton's research showed that inside the earth there are multiple layers. Later scientists discovered that the very first layer, the crust, is made out of plate tectonics. All the different phenomena that we see on Earth, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landforms, are caused by the plate tectonics. In order to understand the layers of the earth one has to understand how the…

happen all along the mid-ocean ridge, and scientists have discovered many submarine rift valleys along the crests of large ridges found throughout the earths oceans. State to the class that when plate tectonics are a combination of continental crust and oceanic crust, they create continental rift valleys. Now show the video “The Great Rift Valley”. Then explain to the class that if a divergence boundary is under a continent, the continent will tear itself apart, creating a rift valley over land,…

Pumpkin Pie Addimu for Oshun Crust 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup of iced water Procedure: Prepare pie crust by mixing together the flour and salt. Cut shortening into flour; add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 4 tablespoons). Mix dough and repeat until dough is moist enough to hold together. With lightly floured, hands shape dough into a ball. On a lightly floured board roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. With a sharp…

1. If I was a fictional character, it would have to be Kristoff from Frozen. He is the main counterpart to Anna on her quest to save her sister. I would be like this character because his heart is always in the right place to help Anna and his reindeer. He may not always know what the best way to help is, but he always wants to help out. Plus, Kristoff has his quirks, like doing his impressions of Sven, his reindeer, and has no shame in showing that. Just like how I’ve got many quirks and got no…

cross-section of sediment. Such force could occur at convergent boundary, which could be where two continental crusts collide or the subduction of oceanic crust below continental crust. When two continental crusts collide compression forces crust to displace both up and down. In a subduction zone when an oceanic plate falls below a continental plate compression aides to create volcanoes on the continental crust. In both cases the compression could have forced the sediment to begin to fold as the…

of patterns of deformation in the crust, continental drift, earthquakes, and mid-ocean ridges. Two major properties of plate tectonics are the lithosphere, and how it's broken into numerous segments in constant motion and evolution. The prime theory of plate tectonics, seafloor spreading, states that the new lithosphere crust is formed at ocean ridges and moves away from ridge axes with a motion like that of a conveyor belt as the newly formed lithosphere crust fills in the cracks or rifts. To…

mountains toward the Pacific Ocean about a half inch every year. In contrast, in the coastal ranges of California, where the gravitational potential energy is low, horizontal forces are compressing the crust. It struck Jones that a sudden drop in gravitational potential energy might have given the crust enough of a jolt to create the Laramide ranges. His scenario goes like this: 141 million years ago, during the Cretaceous Period, western North America from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico was…

Lesson 1: Earthquakes and Volcanoes Layers of the Earth Earth is made up of three layers: crust, mantle and core. The outer layer is the crust, the middle layer is the mantle and the inner layer is the core. Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into large plates that move slowly. Figure 1 shows the layers of the Earth. Figure 1: Layers of the Earth Plate tectonics The Earth's surface is formed of large pieces of rock called plates that are also called tectonic plates. These plates…

in half. If you do plan on using a pizza wheel, do not roll the wheel all the way across the pizza, as this will result in your toppings sliding out of place and potentially off of the pizza entirely. Instead, firmly set your pizza wheel into the crust and roll the blade back and forth approximately an inch. Continue this following the same procedure as with the rocker…

greasy whitish-yellow crusts or large flakes or scales of skin, while the surrounding skin may appear reddened. The scales may detach carrying the overlying hair with it; the hair, however, does grow back.…
