    produces a basic lava which allows it to flow easily. These types of volcanoes eg‚ Mid-Atlantic Ridge erupt frequently but do not produce devastating results‚ they are associated with lava flows and ash. On the other hand volcanoes on destructive (convergent) margins (plates moving towards each other) are much more violent and hazardous. The formation of an ‘acid magma chamber’ is caused by one plate subducting below the other which causes intense pressure and heat causing the melting of rocks and sediment

A single recording station can only calculate distance‚ but not direction; to cover all possibilities‚ a complete circle is drawn around that station. If only two earthquake recording stations are used‚ the circles will overlap at two points. Data from a third recording station will eliminate one of

    west of the Caribbean plate. 3. Distinguish among convergent‚ divergent‚ and transform plate margins. Divergent plates move apart from each other Convergent plates compress against each other while Transform plates move past each other. 4. Explain the formation and distribution of volcanoes‚ earthquakes and fold mountains. Volcanoes- they are formed by the earth’s magma erupting onto the surface and cooling. They usually occur on Plate Boundaries. However this is not always the case. Sometimes they

In this experiment‚ the pressure difference taken is from h1- h5. The time to collect 3 L water in the tank was determined. Lastly the flow rate‚ velocity‚ dynamic head‚ and total head were calculated using the readings we got from the experiment and from the data given for both convergent and divergent flow. Based on
