Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust. … Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart. … Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other. What is a translational boundary? In anRead More →
The first is mountain formation. Subduction zones always have mountain ranges caused by plate subduction. The next is volcanic activity as a plate is subducted the pressure and heat turns it into magma. These pockets of magma find paths to the surface and create volcanoes. What plate boundary is Subducts?Read More →
If the two plates that meet at a convergent plate boundary both are of oceanic crust, the older, denser plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate. Where is an example of an oceanic oceanic convergent plate boundary? We continue our trip up western North America to find a convergentRead More →
The asthenosphere is the more plastic, molten layer below the more rigid crust. Crustal blocks like tectonic plates ride across the asthenosphere, being pushed and pulled by the convection (rising hot, sinking cold). The heat transfer helps dictate plate tectonics. Where is the asthenosphere and why is it important? TheRead More →
As per local lore, years after its creation, some local college kids were in Nick Tahou’s and one of them said, “I’ll have a plate with all the garbage on it,” and thus the Garbage Plate earned its name. What does a Garbage Plate taste like? As for the taste,Read More →
DEFINITION. According to GPT – VI, Denture Base is defined as the. part of Denture that rests on the foundation tissue and. to which teeth are attached. What is shellac base plate? Shellac base plates are used in the process of manufacturing dentures/false teeth in the field of dentistry. TheyRead More →
Two common types of waveplates are the half-wave plate, which shifts the polarization direction of linearly polarized light, and the quarter-wave plate, which converts linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light and vice versa. A quarter-wave plate can be used to produce elliptical polarization as well. What is a quarterRead More →
At divergent boundaries, seafloor Page 2 spreading, a process that forms new oceanic lithosphere, takes place. Convergent boundaries are marked by deep-sea trenches and volcanic arcs. At convergent boundaries, oceanic lithosphere of the downgoing plate subducts beneath an overriding plate. Where does the lithosphere of the Indian ocean form quizlet?Read More →
Soil can be mechanically compacted by applying force with a roller, hoe or rammer. A roller looks like a drum aerator, minus the spikes. Pulling this weighted metal drum over the lawn crushes the soil. In a pinch, a heavily loaded wheelbarrow can do the same job. How long doesRead More →
Silverplated tea sets can carry a price tag of over 100 dollars, because of their age or rarity. Often single pieces of silverplate like tea pots and pitchers carry a price tag of fewer than 100 dollars. Older pieces made before 1880, can sometimes carry a much higher value. IsRead More →
