Source 1: Imagine being awakened early in the morning by the ground shaking so hard that you're thrown out of bed and across the room--if you're even lucky enough to be alive. On April 18, 1906, at 5:12 a.m., an earthquake hit San Francisco, destroying much of the city. San Francisco was a growing city with many closely spaced wooden homes and unsupported brick buildings. The moment the earthquake started, buildings collapsed, water mains broke, and a huge fire broke out that spread rapidly…

Dynamic Planet is an amazing branch of science. From oceanography, to currents, to plate tectonics, all of the subtleties of the dynamic planet are unique in their own ways. Our Earth, itself, is a dynamic planet. The planet contains over one thousand volcanoes, forty thousand earthquakes, and almost two hundred impact craters. All of these features come from the Earth constantly being in motion. The Earth has powerful forces that are caused by nature. Most of which can’t be seen but felt…

Purpose: To identify an unknown microorganism by performing a series of biochemical tests on a pure bacterial culture. Materials and Methods: Carbohydrate Utilization: Materials: - Phenol red lactose Broth - Phenol Red Sucrose Broth - Unknown organism # 40 - Inoculating tool Procedure: Phenol red lactose and Phenol Sucrose were cultures used to identify fermentation of carbohydrates for the unknown organism #40. Phenol red is a ph. indicator as the inverted Durham tube indicates gas production…

Diala Tadros MRS. Grafton GEO101-002 Journal #1 This week’s major headline was the earthquake that tore Italy down to the ground, reading about it in a couple different news articles gave an entire different perspective. First, according to BBC News the main topic was the huge earthquake that affected the middle area of Italy, the quake’s power was 6.2 magnitude it covered all international and local news, it killed up to 120 people, and injured up to 360 people. Also, this earthquake…

Things to Do in San Juan Capistrano Great Stone Church The ruins, more commonly known as the Great Stone Church, is one of the most interesting sections of SJC Mission. The church was laid out as a cross shape with a bell tower that can be seen as far away as 10 miles and whose bells could be heard even further. This historical church lasted only six year as it was destroyed by a 7.0-magnitude in 1812. The earthquake also took the lives of fifty plus people who were buried in the old church…

Relative dating and radioactive dating have semi major difference in determining the age of fossils. Some differences would be the techniques and methods used to determine the age of a fossil. Also another difference would be the process and the different types of dating that will work to find the age for that fossil. As well as the many terms that goes in the processes for dating fossils. Relative dating does not give an actual date for the fossils. Relative dating is used to organize…

Hydrothermal vents are fissures in the earth’s surface from which geothermally heated water rises. They are normally found near volcanically active areas, usually in clusters above the given body of magma. As learned in class, we know that in places where plate boundaries are moving apart, molten magma rises and erupts to form new oceanic crust. (Harden 7). This new crust forms volcanic mountain ranges known as mid-oceanic ridges. Mid oceanic ridges form in the very deeps of the ocean causing…

Mountains are formed by the contact of plate tectonics and mountain building processes such as volcanoes, folding, faulting, igneous intrusion and metamorphism. There are five main types of mountains. The first type is the fold mountain. This is the most common type of mountain. When the plate tectonics come into contact, one plate is thrust downwards and the other is thrust upwards. This creates a thickened crust and represents a fold…

Hanauma Bay in Hawaii Island The Hawaii Island in one of the worlds beautiful Biosphere reserves. It is an international destination too for its unique bio diversity. No such island is there in the planet Earth. This is also one of the remote Islands in the Pacific Ocean on the northern Hemisphere. The Hanauma bay is also one of such important tourist attraction in the Hawaiian Island. There are many number of tourist packages available in the web. It is advisable to buy through online for…

has been evidence that scientists have found along the Alaska Peninsula that might be similar to the earthquake that happened in Japan of 2011 that caused severe damage. There were plate alignments found underwater that resembled the earthquake and tsunami that happened in Japan. Researchers found that close to the plates surfaces were conditions that could trigger an earthquake and build a destructive tsunami. Researchers are able to look into how Alaska might be prone to the damage that…
