Oceanic crust

in different ways. Although sea creatures live together in the same ocean, the condition in different areas varies. The different characteristics of these four sea creatures make them unique, therefore giving them various ways to adapt to extreme oceanic environments in order to survive. Despite living in different locations of the ocean, zombie worms, giant squids, yeti crabs, and deep-sea jellyfish all share one common trait: they must adapt to their environment to survive. A recently explored…

huge volcanoes erupted in Siberia and continued to put out basalt lava and clouds of gases for up to five hundred thousand years (Benton 1). They were not the average cone shaped volcanoes we know today, instead they are huge rifts in the Earth’s crust (Benton 2). There is much evidence of the Deccan Traps in India took place around the same time as the dinosaur extinction. The Deccan Traps erupted on a huge scale, which could create a huge impact on the atmosphere and climate. This theory…

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, “the Ring of Fire is a string of underwater volcanoes and earthquake sites around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.” Most of the Earth 's volcanoes and earthquakes occur around the Pacific Ring of Fire because that is the location of most of the Earth 's subduction zones. Subduction is when a tectonic plate sinks beneath another, and a subduction zone is the area in which subduction occurs. In this case, dense oceanic plates sink…

other," (Darwin 431). This quote effectively describes how some freshwater species have been observed to have wide ranges even though freshwater bodies of water are extremely isolated. Lastly Darwin explains how isolation impacts natural selection on oceanic…

IMPACTS OF ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY Engineering is basically coming up with solutions to the problems that affect the society. It may also be referred as coming up with creative imaginations and implementing them. Engineering technology has really improved the lives of many in the society. A good example is in the Middle East where tremendous engineering technology has been noted. There been a great increase in the construction sector and this has resulted to rise in employment opportunities not…

theories: models and diagrams Case studies: LEDC Haiti earthquake, MEDC tsunami Japan, California, China Introduction Tectonic activity varies due to geographical location and position of tectonic plate boundaries. The Earth's crust is made up of continental and oceanic plates, which move across the surface of the planet, meeting at plate boundaries. Plate tectonics cause volcanic activity, tsunamis and earthquakes. Responses in terms of humans refers to the action taken to minimize the…

Climate change is a vast and complex subject and could have many different routes of discussions, and topics. However, I would like to elaborate more on how to reduce the enormity of the changing climate. How people could make an informed discussion on the factors that are weakening the climate; and find ways to adapt using less, and becoming more resourceful. Climate change is an area that many people continue to overlook because, they are not being generally effected, however, changes in the…

The Cambrian explosion is referred to as “Biological Big Bang” (Science News) or “Evolution’s Big Bang” (Science) (Levinton, J. S.1992), because of the unexpectedness presence of animal life in the Cambrian. Figures have it that it started back 542 million years ago and terminated approximately 40 million years later. This era is marked by the emerging of profuse skeletonized metazoans, an abrupt intensification in biodiversity and the appearance of most modern lives (Von Bloh 18). Animals that…

1960 is storming it up in Chile and China as they both deal with drastic storms that lead to many deaths. As we know we have had many presidents before but September 26 is the day we have the first televised presidential debate. An event happened that had the president involved where a U.S. U-2 plane is shot down over Soviet Union. Now as 1960 came along inventions have been made like the laser which is helping many lives in the world right now. Sprite and Domino's Pizza was introduced to the…

This is particularly important in concepts that involve past events, which cannot be tested. Take, for example, the Big Bang Theory or the Theory of Biological Evolution as it pertains to the past; both are theories that explain all of the facts so far gathered from the past, but cannot be verified as absolute truth, since we cannot go back to test them. More and more data will be gathered on each to either support or disprove them. The key force for change in a theory is, of course, the…
