River is the champion of the Generation Adidas Cup The Sixth Division beat Flamengo 2-1 in the final and‚ for the third consecutive year‚ the trophy remained in hands of el Millonario. The Category 2000‚ lead by Juan José Borrelli‚ was crowned champion of the Generation Adidas Cup‚ played in Dallas‚ after beating Flamengo by 2-1 in the final. Julián Álvarez was in charge of opening the scoreboard. After receiving a low center from Matías Benítez‚ he defined with a right kick to the goalkeeper’s

these processes were plate tectonics‚ glaciation‚ and weathering & erosion. One example of plate tectonics in CT is the Connecticut River Valley. The Connecticut River Valley was also formed by glaciation but first came the plate tectonics. When the plates divided it created a rift valley‚ (When the land on two sides rises but the middle land lowers or stays the same.) rift valleys can be formed by earthquakes and some other natural forces as well. This is only one example of plate tectonics. Another

The Structure of the Earth and Plate Tectonics Structure of the Earth Mantle • The Earth is made up of 3 main layers: Outer core Inner core – Core – Mantle – Crust Crust The Crust • This is where we live! • The Earth’s crust is made of: Continental Crust Oceanic Crust - thick (10-70km) - buoyant (less dense than oceanic crust) - mostly old - thin (~7 km) - dense (sinks under continental crust) - young How do we know what the Earth is made of? • Geophysical surveys: seismic‚ gravity‚

The Pacific Ring of Fire (see below) Tectonic plates of the world. The Pacific Ring of Fire (or just The Ring of Fire) is an area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40‚000 km (25‚000 mi) horseshoe shape‚ it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches‚ volcanic arcs‚ and volcanic belts and plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes

INTRODUCTION Plate tectonics The large scale motions of the earth’s lithosphere are describe by a scientific theory called plate tectonics which explains that Earth’s outer layer is made up of plates‚ which have moved throughout Earth’s history. The theory was developed during first decade of 20th century (by a famous advocate Alfred Wegener) on the older concept of continental drift and was accepted by many geoscientific communities. There are currently seven major and many minor plates are present

Plate Tectonics Paper Michelle Tillman GLG/220 1/12/15 Jessica Terrien Dunn First and most important hazard is the ground actually shaking. This causes building to be damaged or the ground/foundation to settle different than it was. If the soil is liquefied then the building can actually sink into the ground. This can make the buildings also tip and lean. Los Angeles was built on a myriad of transform faults that include Santa Monica fault‚ the San Fernando fault‚ and Northridge/Santa Barbara fault

explain the movement of tectonic plates?! - Sea floor spreading in movement of tectonic plates is called divergent‚ the separation of two plate. This can be proved because magma comes out from the fault of ridge which means plate has open and it’s realising the magma. Other reason‚ if diverging is happening at one point‚ that means converging is happening at other end of plate‚ for example Himalayan mountain range at India and Nepal (converging) and other side of plate that contains India is having

Constructive boundaries occur when two plates move apart which causes new oceanic crust to be formed and mid-ocean ridges are created by the build-up of molten rock on the seafloor due to the mantle building up. This new crust pushes the old crust aside and forcing the plates apart at a very slow rate. Basaltic lava rises which means new crust is being added continuously. Rift valleys are formed at constructive boundaries‚ where convection current causes the crust to be pulled apart causing fractures

Plate Tectonics Ever since the beginning on time‚ Humans believed the ground is solid and immobile. But this is not true whatsoever. The Earth is every-changing and continually in motion. The stability of the Earth is not at all what we think it is. Thinking about the rotational axis of the Earth‚ and possibly of what the Earth may become at a certain point in time‚ has a great influence on understanding all aspects of living things‚ either in the past‚ present‚ or future. The study of Plate

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into many different pieces separated by jagged cracks. These are called the tectonic plates. They are in slow‚ constant motion pushed by the convection currents in Earth’s asthenosphere. This theory explains the process of sea floor spreading at mid-ocean ridges‚ and subduction at deep ocean trenches. It was proposed by J. Tuzo Wilson in 1965. He combined the discoveries of Harry Hess and Alfred Wegner to support this
