Tectonics

Question: Describe in detail the three theories that were the predecessors to plate tectonic theory. Provide evidence of how features of the surface support the current, theory of plate tectonics describing the ways the tectonic plates interact and the result of their interactions. The Continental Drift Theory The Continental Drift can help the surface support the current by plowing through ocean basins. It also did not include seafloor spreading or subduction. So, that did not cause an…

They both relate because they both occur when tectonic plates move. When a volcano is in their active stage of life it will experience seismic anomalies being caused by the movement of magma within the chamber, then when the rocks are really hot and earthquake will arise. Earthquakes and Volcanoes occur when tectonic plates are moving. Tectonic plates are pieces of the earths crust and upper mantle. Earthquakes are cause when the rock underneath us suddenly breaks along a fault. The release of…

Introduction Geologists explanation how the Earth's surface behaves by plate tectonics theory. According to the theory, the surface of the Earth is broken into large plates and size and position of these plates change over times. The edge of these plates is the place where intense geologic activity happens. Such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building occur in areas where they move against each other, A first theory of continental drift is proposed by German scientist Alfred…

karen Plate Tectonics There are two main ways scientist learn of earth saunterer is rock samples are rock sample from looking at the rock that comes from defence babanic explosion. The second main ways selected learn about earth centered is seismic waves seismic waves inderal travel thpro put where they travel speed path. Inconclusive this is how scientists learn about earth…

mass, and light may be some simple examples of this, however they all share the same trait; they may all be considered “tectonics” of a project. The fundamentals of architecture may be referred to as “tectonics” due to the fact that they are elements “pertaining to building or construction in general” (Frampton, 1990, p.93). Frascari (1994) believes that “located within tectonics is an endless set of…

Irrational Tectonic is mutated from rational Tectonic. Perhaps, over rational will turn to irrational when tectonic losing the connection of historical context or logic of craftsmanship. The signs on Hong Kong street were a rational advertisement behavior. However, people starting to add their desire by expansion signs irrationally, not only visually expand, but also tectonically extend. Of course, the program also exposing from inside to outside by those signs symbolically. The signs stacked on…

Joints is a key for tectonic, tectonic is a key for construction. The idea of architecture design in this exhibition will be different. Comparing to typical design strategies, which means analysis programs need or volume operation, this exhibition starting from smallest component, joint, to face the architectural discourse. How to apply or face the joints of architecture will show the difference attitude we face to our spacial design. Tectonic is a way to connect components, is a kind of…

According to their website, the name “tectonic” comes from “the art and science of structure and was chosen to emphasize the company’s interest in construction — how things are made, and how they might be made differently.” Tectonic strives to push the boundaries on what theatre is, and how it might be created to be most effective. I was made aware of the Tectonic Theatre Project through my involvement in “The Laramie Project”, and the workshop I participated…

Plate tectonics play a fundamental role in climate change around the globe. More than 200 million years ago, the continents were merged together as one giant landmass called Pangaea (Cosmato,2016). As the continents moved, their positions on Earth changed, and so did the movements of ocean currents. Both of these changes had effects on climate. Plate tectonics affect climate by different movements (vertical and lateral) both in which affect air circulation. Vertical movement of the surface…

transition from stereotomic to tectonic architectural concepts. This transition was initially responding to exigencies, however poetic functional forms evolved which, in Australia fashioned a variety of uniquely Australian types of Architecture. These Australian types also differed depending on the local climate, with one well-known vernacular Australian architectural type, the Queenslander, developing from several existing styles, and adapted to Queensland’s climate. Tectonic aspects of the…
