Eurasian Plate

I believe that there are no plate tectonics on Venus. I believe this because of the reasearch that i did on this topic. Venus shows no evidence of plate tectonics on it's planet. " There are no long, linear volcano chains or any clear subduction zones. The transform plate boundary, causes the plates to slide past one another, which may cause earthquakes or fault lines, which is exactly what is happening. The plates are sliding past one another and earthquakes ar occuring which may lead one to…

Method: Purpose: To investigate how Porcellio Scaber reacts in terms of orthokinesis to different humidities in their habitat. Equipment-  75 slaters which range from 5-10mm in length (kept in a plastic container with holes in the lid, with dirt and bark so that they are kept in a natural environment as possible so can react naturally during experiment.)  5x petri dish set ups labelled from 50-90% (One petri dish on the bottom will contain glycerol and have a mesh/gauze hot glued over top…

When it comes to physical appearance, there are many natural causes for the different variations of certain characteristics. Humans come in all shapes and sizes with enough combinations that it is not rare to have similar features to someone who may have a completely different background than you. Most of these characteristics occur naturally throughout one’s life, but some individuals take it upon themselves to create their own characteristics through a process called body modification. People…

at a convergent plate boundary; it causes the uplift of the surface in these areas. Examples of mountain ranges at convergent plate boundaries are the Alps, Andes, Cascade Ranges and the Himalayas; these examples were taken by Short and Blair (1986). Mountains can be formed at these boundaries in three different ways, for example oceanic to oceanic, oceanic to continental and finally continental to continental convergence. More high mountain ranges are formed at convergent plate boundaries and…

Portland and could even make Portland disappear. An earthquake is generally formed when the underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release energy that causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. Great subduction zone earthquakes occur around the world where…

Discussion: Each test is a pertinent contribution to drawing an educated conclusion. After performing the gram staining and observing which unknown culture was gram positive, a catalase test was performed. The catalase test allows lab workers to differentiate Staphylococci and Streptococci genus. The test was performed only on the gram-positive culture. Bacteria that respire by the use of oxygen, otherwise known as aerobic respiration, produce enzyme or “catalase”. This protects the bacteria…

Thermal dispersion mass flow meters, often called thermal mass flow meters, rely on the transmission of heat from a body to a gas flow. Inside the flow meter sensor head, a heated resistance thermometer (RTD) is electronically compared with an unheated RTD sensor. As a gas passes the heated RTD, heat is transferred from this sensor to the gas, and hence the RTD is cooled, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the two sensors. Heat transfer from the RTD to the process gas is based…

quite rapidly. It is not uncommon to see significant alteration to a drainage network in a few decades and in some cases their complete demise creating an urban stream desert (Napieralski, et al). Studying crustal response in environments with active plate tectonics has mainly been used to predict earthquakes and to estimate their impact. Due to the dynamic nature of alluvial systems, field studies can determine the rate of current faults and wraps and can forecast abnormal changes to the…

Introduction Fredrick Douglass once said “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” (Douglas, n.d.). This seems to fit the life of Alfred Wegener and his struggle to prove his theory of Pangaea and continental drift. A brief overview of his life, his research, and difficulties he faced will be presented. In addition, discussing why Mr. Wegener’s theory was so widely criticized, other scientists’ objections, and his use of certain fossil organisms for his theory. Mr. Wegener’s Life…

Earth’s tectonic plates. My plan was to look at where the map had different elevation patterns, so I can differentiate them into groups. I found 3 different categories, and identified them as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. My first category is a blue (X) to represent the boundaries outside the Pacific, South American, and Pacific Plate. I noticed that type 1 was found deeper as further into the plate. My second category is a red star to symbolize frontiers around the North American Plate and the…
