Crust

The Caribbean tectonic plate has a wide variety of height and depth within its borders. While all the land and islands are quite tall, the middle of the plate, that is mostly sea, is much more deep in some areas than others. Around the Yucatan Peninsula, Central America, and all the islands are gradual slopes that gain more depth the further from land-above-sea-level you get, however, from Honduras and Nicaragua to Jamaica, where there should be deeper sea, there is quite a lot of height but…

During its formation, the moon’s crust was supported by pockets of hot, pressurized air and magma,…

layers are stacked on top of eachother, like the liquids in the “Density Column lab”. The layers are inner core, outer core, mesosphere, asthenosphere, and lithosphere(upper rigid mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust). The earth's compositional layers are inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core radiates heat, the inner core is always giving out heat. the heat goes through the outer core and mesosphere and asthenosphere, asthenosphere is where convection currents…

spreading or subduction. So, that did not cause an earthquake because it would not support it if it did have an earthquake, because it would shake it. The seismic data discovered that there are zones of Earthquakes that dip down deep. The new ocean crust is forming in the middle of the oceans, while the older…

granite. By cooling and solidification of lava, igneous rock will be formed, and this makes up approximately 64.7% of the earth’s crust. The second common one is Sedimentary rocks, which means sit, and the representative example is Sandstone. Sedimentary rock is composed of a little particle of rock and other elements settling into layer, and about 7.9% of the earth’s crust…

vegetables. Eat your crusts Forget about bread crusts making your hair curly; instead, consider eating them to protect yourself from bowel cancer they contain eight times more cancer-inhibiting properties than the rest of the slice. Researchers in India, who made the discovery, identified pronyl-lysine, an antioxidant in bread crusts that prevents pre-cancerous lesions in the bowel and inhibits cancer. German research into the same antioxidant uncovered that the chewy crusts on sourdough had…

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…

Homely: being something familiar with which a person is comfortable and at ease. Comfortable is how I truly felt, I savored the last few bites of pie and slumping back in a recliner with my Nana and Lorraine that was the most incomparable moment in my young life. I felt more at home with those two wonderful women then I did with anyone or at any place. The day began with waking up before the sun and riding in the big black Pontiac that smelled like an old lady and cigarettes. The smell was…

we? How thick is this place?” I asked, confused. “The mantle is made up of hot, but solid rock. Scientists divide the mantle into layers based on the physical characteristics of those layers. The temperature of the part of the mantle close to the crust, also known as the lithosphere, is about 500-900 degrees Celsius. The bottom of the mantle is called the asthenosphere. It is about 4,000 degrees Celsius at the bottom. The whole mantle is 2,867 kilometers thick,” he informed. Even though that…
