The Earth is always forming and releasing pressure in different ways. Sometimes the Earth’s mantle builds up so much pressure that it starts to shift tectonic plates‚ and due to this we can see changes on our surface as well. We experience big changes like volcanoes‚ earthquakes‚ trembles‚ and continental drift‚ but a few minor things happen as well. Some of these minor results can include geysers and fumaroles. A fumarole is a very important formation that is needed to release pressure from deep

terrified. It affects earth‚ people and property. Earthquakes can do a lot of damage and I will tell you about the effects from them. The first thing earthquakes effects is earth. When two continental plates meet‚ earthquakes are happening‚ volcano eruptions and mountain formation caused by continental plates. Earthquakes cause the ground to shake and creates cracks and holes in the ground. They can also make trees and other objects in the wild or nature‚ fall and crash into the ground. Soil in the ground

PHYSICAL REGIONS: * The total length of Australia’s coastlines is 35 877 km with western Australia’s being the largest. * Australia’s coastline is relatively short due to its compact shape(all in one) * Australia is the smallest out of the 7 continents * It has and area of7 682 000 km squared * A region is defined as an area with one or more features that distinguish it from surrounding areas. These are either‚ natural‚ cultural economic or political. Example- GREAT BARRIER REEF

faulting‚ a sudden lateral or vertical movement of rock along a rupture (break) surface. Here’s the longer answer: The surface of the Earth is in continuous slow motion. This is plate tectonics--the motion of immense rigid plates at the surface of the Earth in response to flow of rock within the Earth. The plates cover the entire surface of the globe. Since they are all moving they rub against each other in some places (like the San Andreas Fault in California)‚ sink beneath each other in others

depending on its age‚ and is broken into plates‚ known as the tectonic plates. Within the lithosphere is the crust as a portion of the upper mantle. The crust is the outer most portion of the earth and takes up less than 1% than the total volume of the earth. It is commonly compared to the skin of an apple‚ whereas the apple represents the earth. The temperature of the crust varies from the air on top‚ to upward of 1600 at the deepest parts. The tectonic plates are part of the crust of the earth‚ moving

Convections Currents The main idea that I would like you to get from this set of notes is that convection currents are a swirling motion of a fluid that needs a heat source and a cold source to work. The rest of the notes will deal with supporting this idea and giving some examples of convections currents here on earth. Once the earth collects enough material it will start to get so heavy that it compresses inward toward the center of gravity a lot. This smashing of

that is why the earth has the formation that it currently has‚ with seven large continents. With an area of 41‚105‚000 square miles‚ the Atlantic Ocean is currently just a little over half the size of the Pacific Ocean. The plates of the earth have never stopped moving. As the plates continue to shift‚ the Atlantic Ocean continues to grow each year‚ while the Pacific Ocean continually shrinks every year. While the Atlantic Ocean grows approximately one inch every year‚ the Pacific Ocean shrinks approximately

The high pressure and temperatures are due to the process taking place at depths greater than 5 kilometers. Regional metamorphic rocks are almost always foliated and are formed under various degrees of differential stress caused by the tectonic forces and plate motions in combination with various settings of high pressures and temperatures.

The mouth-watering aroma flooded my nose as I entered a room full of patrons and food. I was mesmerized by the atmosphere of the restaurant. The sound of the music mixed with the clashing of utensils and plates‚ and the sizzling sound of food being cooked by professionals was all too familiar. It was here where my family had our very first high class dinner. As my parents were ordering from the menu‚ I was witnessing the chef preparing beef. He first placed the beef on a pan and poured
