Essays on Plate's

Continental drift is the theory which proposes that the world was originally made up of a single continent. With the passage of time, this continent was broken up, and it drifted apart to form the seven continents that are present today. It was proposed by Alfred Wegener whose hypothesis stands that the continents are made up of rocks that rest on the heavier weighing rocks on the crust, and this is a movement that is mimicked by icebergs on water. The continents move rigidly. Plate tectonics theory proposes that the Earth’s surface is actually broken up into a ...

The theory of continental drift assumes that the earth is composed of one continent for billions of years. It slowly drifted apart to form the seven continents which could be recognized in the modern times. The drifting of the continents is mainly due to the lighter rocks at the surface which is influenced or moved by the heavier rocks beneath. On the other hand, the plate-tectonics theory assumes that the earth is composed of plates or slabs which are shifting or moving away or towards each other. The movements of the plate depend on the condition and chemistry of ...

Aims and Objectives of the Experiment

The aim of this experiment is to study the separation of an extract of a non-prescription analgesic tablet containing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and caffeine. The separation is achieved through a well-known process called liquid chromatography. The quantities of the aforementioned substances also need to be determined in the experiment (“High Performance Liquid Chromatography,” n.d.).

Theory and Principles

Chromatography is a technique used for the separation of the components, or solutes, in a mixture. The separation is based on the amounts of the relevant solute in the moving, or fluid, stream. There are two phases in chromatography, the mobile phase, and the stationary ...

1. Exercising regularly is good for health. However, one should not be erratic about it i.e. one should have a plan and stick to it. Fitness also includes the food intake. One should have a balanced diet that gives all nutrients in the correct proportion. Exercise and food together lead to a healthy body. At times an overweight person will not be prepared to expose himself to others in a fitness centre. However, one should realise that it is to change this very situation that one need to keep oneself fit. As a result, one becomes more confident about ...

Around the world, there are roughly 1500 potential active volcanos. Most of these volcanoes are around the Pacific Rim also referred to as ‘Ring of Fire.'

Volcanic ash has minerals within it when incorporated into the soil; it adds nutrients.

Volcanic mountain slopes are steep in nature. It makes it inaccessible to both animals and human beings. It provides habitat for rare plant and animal species away from human manipulation. Gases that erupt from volcanoes provide water and atmosphere. Regardless of the slow processes involves I making them it is significant over an extended period. Most volcanoes exist on the brink of tectonic plates. Amongst the tectonic plates, the largest is the Pacific ...

1.0. Introduction Gone the days when merely price tag and quality were the main determinants of the buying decision for any consumer. Today’s consumer based on growing awareness is much more concerned about the ethical status of the tools and methods utilized to produce, handle, and deliver a product or service. This emerging category of judgmental customer has also influenced the theoretical background as well as several practical considerations in the domain of business. One of the most important contributions of this tendency is the emergence of ethical consumerism on part of customers and corporate social responsibility or ...

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things. Such an event is inherently environmentally unsustainable, as it produces masses of waste and consumes unnecessary resources. While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

Question 1 Tectonic plate motion refers to the movement of continental and oceanic plates from one place to another due to the effect of forces that generally act on these plates. These movements cause some effects to the surrounding environment and even to the earth surface in general. A scientist by the name of Wegner had earlier on formulated a theory that instituted some of the facts and evidence backing this presence of continental drift that had happened some time back in history (Runcorn, 2013). Furthermore, the critical evidence in support of continental drift is the jigsaw fitness of ...

Hawai'i was the 50th state to join the USA. It comprises 132 islands and is said to be the home of volcanic islands. These islands reside in the Central Pacific Ocean. Moana Loa is one of the top most active volcanoes that had formed the island of Hawaii in the ocean (Networks, 2016). The movement of plate tectonics has resulted in the volcanic eruption and, however, the volcano towering and presence of valleys had a significant impact on the economic value.

Theory of plate tectonics

Mechanics function of the spine

The human body is meticulously designed with a complex and specialized skeletal system that helps not only provide support and structure for the body but enhances motion and stability. The spinal cord is the extension of the brain and it forms an essential part of the central nervous system. As people age the mechanics of the body are altered (NiosiOxland 2004). Degenerative processes are inevitable and as such, the facet joints, discs and vertebrae are affected. These degenerative issues of the spine include the degenerative disc disease, which is well known; others include Slipped discs, Spinal stenosis Osteoarthritis and ...

Overview: Overview: Antigen-antibody reactions are commonly used in immunological assays. In a traditional agglutination assay, the end product is a visible antibody-antigen complex that settles as visible particulate matter in the solution. In other cases, the reaction is invisible and wants the use of a specific enzyme or isotopic probes that can amplify the signal created by the antigen-antibody reaction, so that they can be detected with the naked eye or an ELISA/RIA reader1. Hemagglutination is a visible antigen -antibody assay in which soluble antibodies react with antigen on the surface of (red blood cell) RBC to form a ...

At one point, different concepts and theories of the natural science meet at an explanation of phenomena in a manner that most scientists may not imagine. Such is the relationship between geology and physics. Geology, definitively, is the study of the composition and elements of earth. In an advanced understanding, geology defines the different aspects of the universe such as rocks and the processes by which they change. On the other hand, physics is the branch of natural science that details the understanding of matter force, energy and matter with their movement through time and space (Anand, 2002). With ...

Encounter with another culture

Two years ago I traveled to Germany. As I live in Great Britain I expected to see a fully another country because it takes much time to reach Germany. I was eager to visit my aunt who left there 20 years ago and now she has her own family in Germany. By the way, her husband is German and has another mentality. It was also exciting for me to find out about their compatibility and their difficulties or lightnesses in their family which were caused by fusion of two different cultures. When I met them at first, I was ...

Abstract

Artefacts have been suggested as the primary points of insights into the culture and customs of a civilization and the way they interact with the world around them. Whilst many of the objects in question convey spiritual messages in terms of idols and iconography, it is important to consider the ways in which the objects communicate on an implied level also; for example, jade stone is one particular inclusion within many Eastern Asian ceremonies and ceremonial pieces and had been considered within these cultures’ as a precious stone, but also, for its ability to preserve an individuals spirit. As ...

Abstract

Transformation remains, and hugely significant tool in extending the borders of life sciences and medicine. It can be referred as fixing intracellular DNA into a bacteria or organism through the vector, thus transforming it. This paper uses plasmid pUC18, self-reproducing circular/spherical strands of genes that may be modified. After the bacteria absorb the vector, some proteins not usually synthesized will occur. In this study, a system has been developed to monitor the transmittance of different DNA (genes) from a genetically transformed strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to E. coli. This mechanism is centered on yeast strains that contain several integrated ...

Introduction

The lip-plate culture is practiced among the Mursi tribe of Ethiopia. The Mursi tribe lives in the lower Omo valley close to the border with Sudan. The Lip-plate culture expresses high levels of maturity among women (Mursi Online, par 2). In particular, the Lip-plate is a sign that a woman can give birth. Furthermore, the Lip-plate ensures that a woman is not mistaken as a member of another neighboring tribe. A western view would lead to an assumption that the Lip-plate is a form of body mutilation that affects women. However, the Lip-plate is a body art that is ...

An earthquake is any seismic event that causes seismic waves. These can be caused by human activity or natural causes. For example, fracking often causes earthquakes which are human caused. Earthquakes often shake or displace the ground or surface of the earth near the epicenter and if the displaced earth is under the ocean, it will usually cause a tsunami. Most earthquakes are caused by geological faults but they can also be caused by landslides, mine blasting, and volcanic activity. Earthquakes are measured by overserving seismometers that are set up across the globe in strategic places for ...

Description of the best fire detection equipment to be installed in the Electrical Switchgear Room, Flammable Liquids Room and the Office. The best fire detection system to be installed in the Electrical Switchgear Room is the photoelectric smoke detector (FM Global, 2). This is because cables which are necessary in the Electrical Switchgear Room are mostly insulated with combustible materials which would invariably generate smoke as they burn in the event of a fire (FM Global 1). This type of smoke from such smoldering fires (characteristic of burning plastic/insulating) according to the NFPA can most effectively be detected by ...
