The different types of rocks like igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic have to go through a process to become that type of rock. Igneous is formed when magma is cooled and

Plate Tectonics & Marine Resources The ocean is one of the worlds greatest natural resources. It provides the Earth’s population with numerous amounts of resources that have value and others that provide pure enjoyment. Transportation is one of the major uses of the ocean‚ along with recreational activities‚ and inspiration. As for resources extracted from the ocean that provide the economy with value‚ three of the main include oil‚ minerals‚ and food. Oil or gas are the top resources extracted

Have you ever wondered how you could compare continental drift‚ sea-floor spreading‚ and plate tectonics? Well there are actually plenty of ways to compare these three topics in earth science. You could compare these topics in similarities; continental drift and plate tectonics both start on the same basis of idea‚ that Earth’s lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates. You could also state some differences‚ such as continental drift occurs on all plate types‚ but sea-floor spreading only takes place

“Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that the plate tectonics theory is valid” Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement (40m) The theory of plate tectonics explains the structure and motion of the Earth’s lithosphere. The theory states that the Earth’s crust is split into large sections called tectonic plates‚ and these move relative to one another creating boundaries at which the plates converge‚ diverge or move past each other. These plates
