238 Words 1 Page Open Document Tectonic Plate Formation While Earth’s plates continuously create new ocean floor and continental land, but also makes it disappear. At divergent plate boundaries, the plates push together and magma rises to the surface. When this magma cools it creates new plate...

What happened to create an nonconformity? What happened to create an unconformity?The older strata below were eroded before the younger layers were laid down. What causes igneous intrusions? Igneous intrusions formwhen magma cools and solidifies before it reaches the surface. ...
Oceans of magma, Moon formation and Earth’s ‘Year Zero’ Posted onAugust 12, 2016byRon Miksha Interesting piece by Steve Drury on the attempts to define Earth’sYear Zero. Accuracy of a new model narrows the date to a rather narrow window. Reblogged onThe Mountain Mysterysite. ...
When we look to see how the Pacific Plate has moved steadily north, we’d expect to find evidence of the past equatorial line of sediment to the north. But scientists have been surprised to find something unexpected: the equator was not where we’d expect–and the only way that the equat...
The makeup of the Earth will continue to change as magma continues to affect the crust on which our continents sit. The continents we see on our globes will be around for a while, though, and many of us still chant "North America, South America, Europe and Asia, Africa Australia, ...
