extensive mass of strong shake to drive through the sea depths without separating. Late proof from sea floor investigation and different studies has revived enthusiasm for Wegener's hypothesis, and prompt the advancement of the hypothesis of plate tectonics. Expansive belts of rocks in Africa and South America are similar sort. These expansive belts then match when the end of the landmasses are joined. Wegener noticed that plant fossils recently Paleozoic age found on a few unique landmasses were

inner workings. Tsunamis since the early 1600s have been synonymous with some form recording of “shaking of the earth”. Very rarely do you see other forms of tectonic activity such as volcanic eruptions or glacier calving that can create a tsunami. The integral part to the large-scale tsunamis that we see is plate tectonics. The plates converge, diverge, or transform to create a Figure [ 1 ]: Shows an example of what is happening in a subduction related tsunami zone. (PNSN, 2013) Figure [ 1

telling us that the East Africa Rift is one of the geologic wonders of the world. There are old plates splitting apart and creating new plates in the earth’s surface. Geologists have already named these new plates to be the “Nubian Plate” which the article says makes up most of Africa and the “Somalian Plate”. The article tells us that these two plates are moving away from the Arabian plate. These three plates come together in Ethiopia and this is called a “triple-junction”. Although the article does

that grew beneath his lips. Those teeth that sliced Liam’s flesh would change him forever. He was either going to die or become something that everyone wanted to kill. Scott bit into him like it was nothing, like it was a piece of steak on his dinner plate. I don’t even know why I was surprised. Scott never saw his actions as harmful. He always said his sole mission was to “protect his friends” but when did that ever work? He did it for himself. He always did it for himself. When he first got bitten

fuzzy growth on the agar plates (Leslie et al. 2000). Objective/ Aim Comparing three different surface cleaners in order to prevent bacterial growth. Hypothesis 70% ethanol is the most effective surface cleaner compared to homemade cleaner and water. Materials * Normal laboratory glassware and equipment * Nutrient agar filled petri dishes * Gloves * Sterile swabs * Masking tape * Marking pen * Incubators to refrigerate and store agar plates * Distilled water

pleural), as well as swabs from a wound, surgical incision, or specific area of the body (vaginal, eye, nares)is brought to the micro laboratory for culture it is inoculated on a nutrient plate or in a nutrient broth for growth, as well as specific complex, selective, or differential types of media. Some media (agar plates) contain substances that enhance the growth of certain organisms, while inhibiting the growth of others; some are highly selective for species; and others still can differentiate between

Growth of Microorganisms Culturing is the growing of micro-organisms in prepared media in the laboratory. The prepared medium is called the ‘culture medium’. Bacteria, fungi and algae grow easily in test-tubes, flasks or Petri dishes of culture media. Virus on the other hand, can only grow and multiply inside living cells, so they cannot be grown in a culture medium. Micro-organisms are able to increase in size and multiply in number of cells. The growth of micro-organisms is measured based on

feel that they own the job as shown by the declaration "Now, it is my hotplate." Given the more responsibility, the workers became more empowered and accountable with their jobs and tasks. Each worker was treated as an individual creating a hot plate instead of just a part of the process. I believe the workers gained ownership and pride in their work. The workers took something and made it their own which resulted in a better sense of self-worth and more pride in their work. With a new sense of
