Presentation on Mid-Plate Hotspots The aim of this lecture is to present on Mid-Plate Hotspots. Whilst most tectonic activity is focused on plate margins, it is possible for earthquakes and volcanoes…
Lecture on Transform Plates Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a…
Presentation on Divergent Plates Basic objective of this lecture is to present on Divergent Plates. Divergent boundaries in the middle of the ocean contribute to seafloor spreading. As plates made of…
Presentation on Convergent Plates General objective of this lecture is to present on Convergent Plates. In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction),…
Tectonic Plate Types There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries. Convergent – plates move toward one another. Divergent – plates move away from each other. Transform…
William Henry Bragg: Physicist William Henry Bragg, Physicist, chemist, mathematician and active sportsman was born July 2, 1862, Wigton, Cumberland, England. He was educated at the Old Grammar School…
Flood Basalts Principle purpose of this lecture is to present on Flood Basalts. Basalt is a type of rock that is produced from the mantle. Flood basalts are yet another…
Lecture on Ocean Forces This lecture introduce on Ocean Forces. Ocean Currents are influenced by two types of forces; 1. Primary Forces–start the water moving. The primary forces are: Solar Heating, Winds, Gravity and Coriolis effect. 2. Secondary…
Jagadish Chandra Bose: Physicist Jagadish Chandra Bose, Physicist was born November 30, 1858, Mymensingh, Bengal, India (now in Bangladesh). He was a polymath, physicist, biologist, biophysicist, botanist and archaeologist,…
Presentation on Tectonic Plates This lecture introduce on Tectonic Plates. Today plate boundaries are determined by examining the location of volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanoes result from the friction (heat) of the plates motion. Earthquakes occur…
