Plate tectonics, long-distance dispersals and chance introductions can explain many trans-Pacific disjunctionseemahtuskie@gmail.comLoren Bahls
How does growth on the unopened plates affect the reliability of the other plates? Explain how the processes of plate tectonics act to make metals and minerals usable for us. Describe the process of tread-milling and its purpose. Explain how the patterns of volcanoes and earthquakes are ...
Explain the significance of fossilized stromatolites. Classification of Stromatolites: Stromatolites are very rare today but were numerous in earlier stages of life on Earth. They are layered structures which are found in shallow water when sedimentary grains are bond, trapped or cemented. Answer and...
Repeating earthquakes, or repeaters, are defined as earthquakes with overlapping rupture areas, sharing a similar location, magnitude and focal mechanism1,2,3. Due to the similarity of their sources, they generally produce highly similar waveforms1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Indeed, while a robust identifica...
The division of the earth’s surface into continents and oceans is a consequence of plate tectonics but a geological paradox exists at continent-ocean boundaries. Continental plate is thicker and lighter than oceanic plate, floating higher on the mantle asthenosphere, but it can rift apart by thin...
waveforms prone to cycle skipping before calculating the cross-correlation and a time-independent criterion for the comparison of the maximum and the second largest peak (sidelobe maximum, CCslm, corresponding to the largest positive value of the cross-correlation function in the case of anti-...
Why would the landscape ecology of karst aquifers vary from that of an unconsolidated sand aquifer? What is meant by a physical change in matter? Give an example. Explain how the processes of plate tectonics act to make metals and minerals usable for us. Atoms: concept and characteristics, wh...
The rock cycle refers to the process by which the soils and the rocks of the Earth are constantly being transformed, by the action of several agents like pressure and temperature. The three types of rocks, namely, sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic, are continuously being exposed to these ...
