There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and convergent boundaries. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, and can be oceanic or continental in nature. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past one another. Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide, and can involve continental-continental, oceanic-continental, or oceanic-oceanic collisions. These boundaries result in different geological features like mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys, subduction zones, and mountain ranges.

The document discusses plate tectonics and the structure and movement of tectonic plates. It explains that Earth's outer layer is divided into plates that move relative to each other due to convection currents in the mantle. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries where plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates move together, and transform boundaries where plates slide past one another. These boundary types result in different geologic features and events like volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building.

Plate tectonics involves the movement of rigid tectonic plates that make up the lithosphere. There are three types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates move apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. Convergent boundaries can be subduction zones where one plate is forced under another, causing volcanoes and earthquakes. Divergent boundaries form new crust through seafloor spreading at ocean ridges or rift valleys on land. Transform boundaries experience stress buildup and release as earthquakes when plates cannot smoothly pass each other.Ocean Basin, Trenches, and Plate Movement.pptx

This document provides information about natural hazards caused by tectonic plate movements. It discusses the three main types of plate boundaries: divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they move past each other. At divergent boundaries, mid-ocean ridges and volcanic islands form through sea floor spreading. Rift valleys and block mountains form when continents split apart. At convergent boundaries, denser plates subduct under lighter ones, creating ocean trenches, volcanic island arcs, and fold mountains through compression. Transform boundaries cause earthquakes along tear faults as plates grind past each other.Presentation of Geology.pptx

The document summarizes the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries, where two plates collide; divergent boundaries, where two plates move apart; and transform boundaries, where two plates slide past each other. Convergent boundaries can involve subduction and result in mountain building. Divergent boundaries create new crust and can form undersea ridges or inland rifts. Transform boundaries cause earthquakes as stress builds up from friction between sliding plates.

Earthquake wreaks havoc in the Philippines more than 1,000 people are killed when a 7.7-magnitude earthquake strikes Luzon Island in the Philippines on this day in 1990. The massive tremor wreaked havoc across a sizeable portion of Luzon, the countrys largest island, with Baguio City suffering the most devastating effects.
The epicenter of the quake, which struck at 4:26 p.m., was north of Manila in the Nueva Ecija province. Reports indicate that the shaking went on for nearly a full minute. Collapsing buildings were the main cause of damage and death. Getting out of a multi-story building was a good safety precaution that afternoon, although many people were injured and a few even died in stampedes of others doing the same thing.
At Christian College, a six-story building completely collapsed, trapping approximately 250 students and teachers inside. Heroic rescue efforts saved many, but some victims who did not die in the collapse were found dead later from dehydration because they were not pulled out in time.
All types of buildings, including several resort hotels in Baguio, known as the
Philippines Summer Capital, suffered tremendous damage. Most of the citys 100,000
residents slept outdoors that evening and during the following week, afraid to return to
their homes amid the frequent aftershocks. For days, workers pulled bodies from the
demolished buildings in Baguio. The best estimate is that 1,000 bodies were eventually
recovered. At least another 1,000 people suffered serious injuries. Rescue efforts were
hampered severely because the three main roads into the city were blocked by landslides. Hundreds of motorists were stranded on the roads as well.
A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of
rock. Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other.
This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep. Faults may range in length from a few millimeters to thousands of kilometers. Most faults produce repeated displacements over geologic time.
The ground in the area of fault tends to remain not moving
because of frictional force between the two opposing plates (boxes). As stronger forces (rubber band) shakes up the fault, the friction (tape) can no longer hold up the plates (box) thus resulting to a slip in the plates tThe Theory of Tectonic Plates 7.3.ppt

There are three main types of plate boundaries - convergent where plates move towards each other, divergent where they move apart, and transform where they slide past each other. At convergent boundaries, mountain ranges form at continental-continental collisions while subduction zones and volcanoes form at oceanic-continental and oceanic-oceanic collisions. New seafloor is created at divergent boundaries through sea floor spreading as magma rises between separating plates. Transform boundaries create earthquakes as plates grind past each other.

At divergent boundaries, plates pull apart and new crust is created, allowing oceans to form. Convergent boundaries occur when plates collide and one slides under the other, often forming mountains and volcanoes.

This document discusses divergent plate boundaries and the processes that occur at them. It describes how divergent boundaries form as plates move away from each other, causing rifting and seafloor spreading. This creates mid-ocean ridges and pulls the crust thin, causing it to crack and form new crust. Over millions of years, this spreading causes the separation of land masses and widening of oceans. Common features at divergent boundaries include mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys, and volcanic fissures.Plate Tectonics Theory.pdf

Here are the steps to demonstrate a transform boundary using the snack tectonics materials:
1. Place a small amount of icing along the edge of one piece of wax paper to represent the plate boundary.
2. Hold the two pieces of wax paper next to each other with the icing in between.
3. Slowly slide the pieces of wax paper past each other along the icing, which represents the plates moving horizontally in opposite directions.
This demonstrates how transform boundaries form as the plates slide past each other laterally without either plate subducting under the other. The icing represents the fault line where energy is released through earthquakes as the plates shear and grind against each other.Plate tectonics

The Earth is made up of layers including the inner and outer core, mantle, and crust. The crust contains two types of tectonic plates - continental and oceanic. Continental plates form land and are less dense than oceanic plates, which are found below oceans. Convection currents in the mantle cause the plates to move, resulting in three types of plate boundaries: constructive, destructive, and conservative. Constructive boundaries form new crust through sea floor spreading. Destructive boundaries include convergent boundaries, where one plate is subducted, and collisional boundaries, where plates collide and fold mountains form.

The Anglo-Zanzibar Conflict lasted just 38 minutes in 1896 and was sparked when the Zanzibari Prince revolted against British rule over succession. The prince gathered soldiers and supporters at the sultan's palace in Zanzibar Town. In response, the British deployed naval forces including cruisers and gunboats. The brief battle resulted in around 500 casualties for the prince's forces while the British suffered just one wounded sailor; the prince's royal yacht and other boats were also sunk, ending the revolt. The British government maintained control over Zanzibar and installed a new ruler.curling.pptx

Silicon is considered an inorganic biostimulant and a prophylactic extracellular agent that allows the stimulation of a
wide range of natural defences against abiotic and biotic stresses. However, little or no work has focused on the direct action of silicon on some enzymes. Indeed, during this study, the action of silicon was studied in vitro by direct contact of this element at different doses with the enzymatic extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) seeds. Our results showed that silicon
strongly inhibited antioxidant and hydrolytic enzymatic activities. The percentage of this inhibition depends on the dose of silicon and the type of enzyme. The most sensitive enzymes to this inhibition were SOD and lipases whose activity was totally inhibited at
4 mM and 7 mM respectively. However, we report that the inhibitory action of silicon was limited to 50% for GPOX whatever the concentration of silicon used, the plateau being reached at 10 mM for GPOX and at 70 mM for proteases. Since these enzymes are mainly metallo-dependent, we hypothesize that their inhibition by silicon may be due to interactions between silicon and the metals involved in the functioning of each enzyme. Our study shows that silicon can be used as an inhibitor of enzymes involved in certain diseases.Simple Phenomena of Magnetism | IGCSE Physics

How could modern LA research address data-related ethics issues in informal and situated professional learning? I will identify in this talk three relevant insights based on field studies around workplace LA interventions: Firstly, in informal and situated learning, data isnt just about the learners. Secondly, the affordances of manual and automatic data tracking for learning are very different, with manual tracking allowing a high degree of learner control over data. Thirdly, learning is not necessarily a shared goal in workplaces. These can be translated into seeing a potential for systems endowed with sufficient natural-language-processing capability (now seemingly at our fingertips with LLMs), and socio-technical design and scenario-based data collection analysis as design and research methods.Climate Information for Society: Attribution and Engineering

The **BETICHUMD Mechanism of CHUSOMERADUCK** is one of the most groundbreaking, revolutionary, and inexplicably complex systems ever devised in the realm of advanced quantum-extraterrestrial-mechatronic-hyperfusion dynamics. Designed originally by the intergalactic scientific consortium of the **Zypherion-9 civilization**, this mechanism has perplexed Earths top researchers, including the secret think tanks at NASA, CERN, and the underground laboratories of the Illuminati. CHUSOMERADUCK, an acronym standing for **"Chronologically Hyper-Ultrasonic System for Optimized Metaphysical Energy Recalibration and Advanced Dynamic Universal Cognition Kernel,"** is an artificial intelligence-powered, self-evolving hypermechanical entity designed to manipulate the fundamental constants of reality itself. The BETICHUMD Mechanism is at the core of its operation, acting as the **primary transdimensional flux stabilizer**, allowing CHUSOMERADUCK to function beyond the traditional limitations of physics. The origins of BETICHUMD remain unclear, with some theories suggesting that it was first conceptualized during the **Ancient Atlantean Wars**, where high-frequency oscillation technology was used to warp spacetime, while others claim that it was reverse-engineered from a **meteorite discovered in Antarctica in 1947**, which led to the infamous **Operation DuckStorm** carried out by the United Nations' Secret Space Program. The primary working principle of BETICHUMD involves the **synchronization of dark matter vibrations with quantum neutrino entanglement fields**, enabling infinite computational energy without the need for external power sources. The applications of this technology are limitless, from **instantaneous planetary teleportation** to **bio-mechanical consciousness enhancement**, making it a prime candidate for interstellar exploration and even **simulated immortality** through direct neural uplink with CHUSOMERADUCKs core processing grid. Governments across the world have attempted to harness its potential, but due to the incomprehensible nature of its **fifth-dimensional recursive logic algorithms**, only a handful of researchers have come close to deciphering its true capabilities. Recently declassified documents from the **Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs** suggest that an early prototype was tested in **the Mariana Trench in 1998**, where a sudden temporal rift resulted in the disappearance of an entire research facility, possibly transporting it to an alternate timeline. The existence of CHUSOMERADUCK has also been linked to various **UFO sightings, unexplainable time loops, and anomalies in gravitational wave measurements**, indicating that the BETICHUMD Mechanism is far more than just an advanced computational systemit is, in fact, a **gateway to rewriting the fundamental laws of the universe**. However, with great power comes great danger, as misuse of the mechanism could theoretically collapse the entire fabric of reality.Deep Learning-Driven Protein Design for Maize Improvement: AI-Guided Solution...

Plate Boundary.pptx
- 2. There are 3 different kinds of Plate Boundaries?!
- 3. Divergent boundaries There are 2 different kinds of divergent boundaries: 1. Oceanic (Ocean) 2. Continental (Land) Divergent plate limits are areas where plates shift away from each other. This happens atop rising currents of convection. At the bottom of the lithosphere, the rising current pushes up, raising it and moving laterally under it. This lateral flow causes the above plate material in the direction of flow to be pulled along. The overlying plate is stretched thin at the crest of the uplift and splits and pulls apart.
- 4. 1. Oceanic: At a divergent plate boundary, plates shift apart. This occurs at mid- ocean ridges in the oceans. It occurs in continental rift zones on land. The spreading sea floor forms a new oceanic crust. The rising magma results in a buoyant ridge. This is why the seas have a mountain range running across them. In Iceland, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is above sea level. It's the only place we can see a mid-ocean ridge out of the water. Divergent boundaries
- 6. 2. Continental: Many areas are being rifted apart in western North America. The Rio Grande Rift in Texas is one such spot. Hot mantle rises up under the crust at this position to cause the divergence. The border of a divergent plate on land rips apart continents. Magma rises underneath the continent during continental rifting, causing it to become thinner, crack, and eventually fall apart. The fresh crust of the ocean erupts in the vacuum, finally forming an ocean between continents. There are now two separate lithospheric plates on either side of the ocean. This is how continents are broken apart. Divergent boundaries
- 8. Transform boundaries There is only 1 kinds of transform boundaries. In the dry portion of central California, the Pacific Plate is on one side and the North American Plate is on the other side. Two plates can slide in opposite directions past each other. At a transformation fault, the plates cross. The plates do not readily slip past each other. Massive earthquakes occur at these plate boundaries.
- 9. Convergent boundaries There are 3 different kinds of convergent boundaries: 1. Continental & Continental 2. Oceanic & Continental 3. Oceanic & Oceanic
- 10. Convergent boundaries 1. Continental & Continental: In order to subduct, continental plates are too buoyant. When it collides, what happens to mainland material? It doesn't have anywhere to go but up! Some of the largest mountain ranges in the world are formed by continent-continent convergence. Continent-continent collisions bring about frequent and large earthquakes with massive slabs of crust crashing together. In the Himalaya Mountains, the best location to see two continental plates converging is.
- 11. Convergent boundaries 1. Continental & Continental:
- 12. Convergent boundaries 2. Oceanic & Continental A continent can collide with the oceanic crust. The oceanic plate is denser, so subduction is carried out. This means that underneath the continent, the oceanic plate sinks. This happens in a trench in the ocean. Zones of subduction are where subduction occurs. A line of volcanoes known as a continental arc forms a subduction of an oceanic plate under a continental plate and triggers earthquakes.
- 13. Convergent boundaries 3. Oceanic & Oceanic The characteristics of a subduction zone where an oceanic plate subducts under another oceanic plate are the same as the subduction zone of a continent-ocean. The position where the plate is forced down into the mantle is marked by an ocean trench. We begin our search to find a convergent plate border in western North America where the oceanic crust subducts underneath the oceanic crust.
