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 - through movements that happens between plates. This, in turn, can be categorized…

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…

is located over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate, and is an example of a mid ocean ridge seen on land. Iceland has divergent and transform plate boundaries, which are also seen along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The North American plate, with respect to the Eurasian Plate, is moving west-southwest at 2.3 centimeters per year. These two plates represent divergent plate tectonics. The plates move away from each other and magma rises up from the mantle and…

Many of those who live in central Italy near L’Aquila were greatly impacted by the 6.3 magnitude earthquake that shook the entire town and surrounding areas in 2009. After this, many of the residents in these areas took comfort in the idea that it happened once, and it wouldn 't happen again. But when houses began to shake at 3:36 A.M. on August 24th, 2016 disaster struck once again. Though this earthquake was not as large as the previous one, the magnitude 6.2 was followed by almost 200…
