INTRODUCTION Seeds are the specialized parts of the plants that results to a new plant. They provide a site of food and shelter for it. Because of the process called germination, matured seeds can be able to sprout. Germinating seeds absorbs great amount of water. This water initiates different chemical processes that will occur inside […]

The Dynamic Crust. Earthquakes and the Earth’s InteriorWhy is the Earth’s crust described as being dynamic?Crust- solid stone outer zone of EarthThe crust is portion of the geosphere.The Earth’s crust is dynamic which means invariably altering. EarthquakesVentsCrustal motions along mistake zonesOther grounds indicates that parts of the Earth’s crust have been traveling to different locations […]

How Are Mountains Formed?Mountains are formed over long periods of time by forces of the earth. Mountains just don’t appear in any place. Most are formed when plates, or huge pieces of the Earth’s crust, pull and push against each other. Greatmountain ranges are formed by the movement of tectonic plates. Convectioncurrents deep in the […]

The lab’s goal is to create profiles for the Tonga Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench using earthquake data. When two tectonic plates converge, a subduction zone forms if one or both of the plates are made up of oceanic lithosphere. Crust at a mid-ocean ridge is hot and buoyant, indicating low density. As it spreads […]

Internal processes which have been involved in the formation of boxwork weathered rocks. The major internal processes for my surface feature are: 1. The rock cycle and the formation of greywacke. 2. The uplift that brought the rocks from under the ocean up to the shore level. The rock cycle The rock cycle refers to […]

Mount Vesuvius is probably the most famous volcano EVER! I wrote a couple of interesting facts that you can copy and paste freely for your term paper or geography project. Situated in Naples, Italy, Mount Vesuvius which is 19, 000 years old is a stratovolcano. This volcano can be recognized even from a distance, due […]

On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens had an eruption while Mount Pinatubo, located to the north of it in the Luzon arc on the west coast of the island, has also had significant eruptions before.

It’s amazing to know that once ago these continents on Earth were once joined together and have split and moved apart from one another. […]

Mt. Nyiragongo is a very interesting and explosive volcano, even though it isn’t especially world renown. It is on the continent of Africa, near the Uganda and Rwanda border. Though it is near those borders, the volcano is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The latitude and longitude of Mt. Nyiragongo is 1. 5167° […]

1.What roles do plate tectonics play in the geomorphology of Pacific Islands? The earth’s crust is made out of plate tectonics. Each plate has a defined boundary and direction it moves. The plates in Earth’s crust perform two actions; they submerge under each other or they spread out. The Pacific Plate is the largest plate […]

On April 18, 1906, San Francisco was struck by an earthquake that shook the city or about 20 seconds. The quake cracked gas lines to homes and businesses and ignited a deadly menace. The fires raged for days on end and burned down the city’s buildings and neighborhoods. 75% of the city was destroyed. Homes, […]

Associate Level Material Comparison Worksheet Use the table below to compare extrusive and intrusive rocks. Describe and compare each type in at least 150 words. Extrusive Rock Extrusive rocks, also known as volcanic rocks, are formed when magma reaches the earth’s surface and cools into lava. These rocks are created through volcanic eruptions where lava […]

Geologists have defined plate tectonic movement as a natural scientific theory which explains the origin and the motion of large-scale movement of all big larger and smaller plates which exist in the lithosphere of the earth (Kuzmin & Yarmolyuk, 2016). There are major and minor plates which exist on the lithosphere and have been in […]

Why does anything at all exist? G. W. Leibniz, codiscoverer of calculus and a towering intellect of 18th century Europe, wrote: “The first question which should rightly be asked is “Why is there something rather than nothing? ” -“The Principles of Nature and of Grace, Based on Reason” His conclusion was that the answer is […]
