As they ate the bread, they glanced around mostly and made a few comments about the architecture of the restaurant. It looked to me as if they did not know what to talk about. The lady fiddled with her hair and looked around a lot

and Thailand. The megathrust earthquake was unusually large in geographical and geological extent. An estimated 1,600 kilometres of fault surface slipped (or ruptured) about 15 metres along the subduction zone where the India Plate slides under the overriding Burma Plate. The slip did not happen instantaneously but took place in two phases over a period of several minutes. First the seismographic and acoustic data indicate that the first phase involved a rupture about 400 kilometres long

Geology Notes Origin of Planet Earth and Solar System: * Earth as a unique planet 1. Presence of a “hydrosphere”/ there’s liquid water/ makes life possible 2. Presence of a life supporting atmosphere/ there’s oxygen: not too much, not too little (too much oxygen results in fires) 3. Distance from the sun/ controls overall temperature of planet, Goldilocks Zone: not too hot, not too cold/ also controls composition of planet * Terrestrial Planets- Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid

Earthquakes are an example of seismic activity created by plate boundaries. They can be caused by the subduction of oceanic crust which is densest at 2.9 g/cm3 under continental crust which weighs 2.7g/m3 at destructive plate boundaries. Earthquakes can also occur along conservative plate boundaries such as that shared by the Pacific and North American plates which move at 5-9 cm/year and 2-3 cm/year respectively causing the 1994 Los Angeles earthquake along the San Andreas fault alongside which

Yellowstone is a national park that has many hot springs. Do you know what is powering all of those hot springs and geysers? There is a giant volcano, otherwise known as a supervolcano, under the surface of Yellowstone. This blog will cover what makes the supervolcano power the hot springs and geysers and what environmental effects the supervolcano will have if it goes off. The hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone are all powered by a supervolano under the surface. Scientist have discovered

The word tsunami is derived from a Japanese word which means harbor wave. English also explained that the tsunami, better known as tidal waves. The tsunami wave is actually a big wave incident that can bring a lot of destruction and damage to property which may lead to changes in the natural landscape so devastated by this disaster. Tsunami waves also an incident where these events happened so fast and so we are not able to fight it, as this is usually strong waves could reach very high altitudes

on the process of how the continents drifted apart. In order to prove Wegener theory there was two types of evidence needed to shown first that supports that that the continents actually drifted and second, that shows that the movement of the plates had caused the drift. Later on in the 1950s when people accepted that the sea levels have constantly changed then an even closer fit can be seen at 200 metres or 2000 metres below present-day sea level. Moreover there was more evidence yielded

there was between my father and my uncle. My uncle was clad in ragged clothes and torn out shoes. My father on the other hand was well suited for his conference. I was deeply touched by two opposite fates of two brothers who as kids ate from the same plate and shared the same books.

I saw the optimist in him that

Geothermal energy which is heat energy can be found in almost everywhere on Earth. It is a renewable energy derived from heat deep in the Earth’s crust. The word “geothermal” comes from Greek words meaning “Earth” (geo) and heat (thermal), it means using the nature heat produced inside the Earth. (Davor Habjanec,2008)The use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago with the settlement of Paleo-Indians in hot springs. The technology of geothermal energy improved each year. In 1904
