Mount St North America
1,011 wordsIt was once thought that volcanic eruptions were the result of water moving into highly heated area of the earth. That not true any more. More recently, with the better understanding of the movement of the earth's crust plates, known as plate tectonics, has been accepted as generating the energy that causes a volcanic eruption. (Microsoft, Encarta) Volcanoes form at the site of 2 kind of plate boundaries. The convergent plate plunges under another divergent plate. The lower plate is drawn down t...

Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
921 wordsVenus is the 2 nd closest planet to the Sun, and the closest planet to Earth. Venus can reach visual magnitudes (brightness) of - 4. 4, making it the brightest object in the night sky, excluding the moon. Venus was once considered Earth's twin, a swampy place with oceans and strange creatures were imagined. After sending probes such as Mariner, Pioneer Venus, Veteran (which landed on Venus), Vega, Magellan and Galileo, we know that Venus is the victim of a "run-away" greenhouse effect. Mars is t...

Igneous Rocks Earths Surface
378 wordsOut of the three different types of rocks, igneous rocks are by far the most abundant rock on the earths surface. From the oceans to the mountains, you will find igneous rocks everywhere and it is easy to see why. Igneous rocks are a result of solidified magma. Magma is found underneath the earths surface all over. Mountains are usually volcanoes; either extinct, dormant or active. Volcanoes contain magma. Magma is cooling all the time. This would mean that the rocks that form from lava spews, o...

Parts Per Million Degrees Centigrade
410 wordsUranium is a silvery-white element possessing a very radioactive and oxidizing character. Uranium retains a density of 19. 07 grams per cubic centimeter and a melting point of roughly 1, 132 degrees centigrade. With a boiling point of approximately 3, 818 degrees Celsius uranium is not an easy element to get to a melting or boiling point. The Periodic Table says that uranium has 92 protons and 146 neutrons thereby acquiring a atomic weight of 238 atomic mass units. Uranium burns readily in air a...

Tectonic Plates Molten Rock
689 wordsIn 1912, Alfred Wegener, a German scientist, was the first to notice this and develop the theory of plate tectonics. He noticed that the earth's continents fit together almost like a jigsaw puzzle. This, combined with the fact that similar fossils and rock types are found on different continents separated by large bodies of water, helped him formulate his conjecture. He contended that the plates at one point formed one large continent called Pangea, which allowed like fossils and rock types to b...

Millions Of Dollars Plate Tectonics
1,068 wordsEARTHQUAKE REFERENCE FILES Earthquake, shaking of the earth's surface caused by rapid movement of the earth's rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the earth, usually in the form of strain in rocks, suddenly releases. This energy is transmitted to the surface of the earth by earthquake waves. The study of earthquakes and the waves they create is called seismology. Scientists who study earthquakes are called seismologists. (Webster's p. 423) The destruction an earthquake ...

Source Of Energy Nuclear Fusion
519 words65279; Energy From Nuclear Fusion Nuclear Fusion is the energy-producing process which takes place continuously in the sun and stars. In the core of the sun at temperatures of 10 - 15 million degrees Celsius, Hydrogen is converted to Helium providing enough energy for us to sustain life on earth. For energy production on earth, different fusion reactions are involved. The most suitable reaction occurs between the nuclei of the two light forms (isotopes) of Hydrogen Deuterium and Tritium; even...
