Indo-Australian Plate

located at a distance from plate boundaries are considered to be stable tectonically, but in real sense, they are subjected to regular disturbance that are less persistence and also of lesser magnitude than those that lies near plate boundaries, Nonetheless their manifestation can be seen in landscape. Neotectonics are post Miocene tectonic deformation on the earth surface. Its evidence takes expression in form of recent fault that could have resulted from reactivation of older fault, hot spot volcanism and folding. Herein this review, post Miocene tectonisms are studied, paying attention to their forms, expression and effects as it occur in the Australia…

of lives, while also saving billions in public taxpayer funds to rebuild after the damage. There are several types of gravitational forces that occur within the earth and cause earthquakes, such as plate tectonics and seafloor spreading. Understanding these actions can allow us to have better understanding of the causation of earthquakes. Plate tectonics is the theory that states Earth’s outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the rocky inner layer of Earth called the mantle.…

That is why, despite not being the closest planet to the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System. Earth 's Tectonic Plates: the tectonic plates of our planet are portions of what is scientifically called "lithosphere", which accounts for the layer of the Earth that contains the terrestrial crust and the upper-most solid mantle. Tectonic plates account for many interesting phenomena - such as the formation of volcanoes and mountains, and the generation of earthquakes and tsunamis -…

Recently it has been showing signs of eruptions. Volcanic Activity is still very high after almost 50 years of the last eruption. Steam and rumblings are some of the signs it's giving off that sooner than later it is going to erupt. It has been struck by a total of 253 earthquakes. Volcanologist believe that an eruption is gonna happen anytime soon. People were being evacuated because of signs of the volcano was giving off. Mount Agung reached its highest point which led to that believe. If this…

New crust is generated as plates pull away from each other and can either cause sea floor spreading or new land to be created. An example of a continental rift valley is the Eastern African Rift Valley which is being formed as the Eastern African plate is moving away from the main Africa plate in a north-easterly direction. Plates move apart due to convection currents in the lithosphere. As the crusts move away from each other the crust thins, tension in the lithosphere causes the plate to…

Located on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa, Mount Tambora is in the province of West Nusa Tenggara. The eruption of Mount Tambora on April 10, 1815 marked the most powerful eruption of a volcano in the past 500 years thats has struck Indonesia. The creation and eruption of Mount Tambora can be contributed to the interaction between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plate. The plate with higher density subducts under the plate with lower density. As the plate goes under, it melts and forms a…

The Issue of a Border Fence in America The issue of a border fence surrounding the divide between the United States and Mexico has been a great debate among many political and social activists. Throughout the years, there has been recent speculation that there needs to be increased border security, especially as it relates to the protective interests of the U.S. against suspected and potential terrorists. As the country faces various issues with the concept behind stronger border security,…

The English language has been around for decades. According to Suzanne Kemmer, the language we call “English” has been brought up in the north sea coasts of England around the fifth and sixth centuries A.D. English currently exists all around the world except a few countries and it has a total of 332,000,000 individuals speaking the language("Most Widely Spoken Languages"). That number was a sampling amount taken back in 1999, if anything the language has been increasing with speakers worldwide.…

Have you ever wondered about the English dictionary and why we call this book of words, a dictionary rather than a Nirzockiwa? Although the origin of language is unknown to linguists, there are many controversial theories. In Mario Pei’s essay, Theories of Language Beginning, he discusses the development of language. On the other hand, Bill Bryson writes in his essay, Where Words Come From, how words originate. Both essays elaborate on language and its mysteries, displaying various stylistic…

culture. Language is the foundation that every culture is built upon; culture is the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. Therefore, it is composed of numerous people who interact and communicate with each other through a common language or languages; hence the differential, but constant coexisting presence of monolingual and multilingual cultures. In multilingual cultures, people use various languages in their everyday register and dialogue.…
