Why are the plates moving apart from each other and what evidence do they have to prove it? Byanon245204— On Feb 04, 2012 I'm doing a project on plate tectonics. What was the type of plate boundary that India and Africa had while joined with Pangaea? I know this isn't part of th...
The whole idea of plate tectonics is a more advanced version of an idea developed in the early 1900s called continental drift. During that time, ascientistnamed Alfred Wegener decided to investigate some obvious facts that he found curious about the way the Earth was put together. There were ...
Now, the plume hypothesis provides a pretty elegant explanation for a volcanic anomaly like the Hawaiian Islands. But, while it's hypothetically attractive, there's very little direct evidence to support the theory because, so far, no one's been able to actually observe what's happening that ...

There are three types of tectonic plates : 1.constructive 2.destructive 3.conservative Constructive plates: When two plates move towards each other, the gap left between two is then filled with magma, rising up from the hot interior of earth. Finally, the lava flows on earth's surface, form...

African, Indo-Australian, South American and Antarctic tectonic plates. However, according to a 2012 article inNature, earthquakes over the last few decades are evidence that the Indo-Australian plate has cracked over the last 10 million years, creating aseparate Indian Plate and Australian Plate....

It was only in the 1960s, after directseismological evidenceof seafloor spreading, that the scientific community accepted the plate tectonics (and eventually continental drift theory). What Is a Tectonic Plate? And How Many Are There? Major and some minor tectonic plates ...
In the chemical reactor there's a vacuum very close to that of interstellar space. And the temperature is minus 200° Celsius.在化学反应堆中有一个非常接近星际空间的真空空间。温度是- 200摄氏度。We made the ice, we can see a bit here, a sort of growth on the edge of the window. The ...
