Question

Essay prompts (should be at least 5 sentences and you should use scientific terms):

Unit 2: Describe the process of planet creation, detail as far back as a planet being a spec of dust.

Unit 3: You have 3 choices, you can either live on a Convergent, Divergent, or Transform plate boundary. Pick your boundary, tell me why you picked that boundary and tell me why you did not choose the other two boundaries. Safety, resources, and stability should all be considered when picking your new paradise.

Unit 4: Explain why we feel earthquakes and explain how we determine where an earthquake originated

Explanation / Answer

Unit 2:

1. The planets may be formed from solar neubla.

2.When a cloud of gas and dust is distributed in space , may be the explosion of near by star (Supernova).

3..This explosion causes waves in space which squeezed cloud of gas and dust.

4. The squeezing cause cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together forming Solar nebula.

5. Cloud began to spin as it collapsed, the cloud grew hottor and denser in the center, with a disk of gas and dust surrounding it.

6. As disk got thinner and thinner, particles began to stick together and form clumps, some clumps got bigger and form planets.

Unit 3: I will pick Transform plate boundary. Because

Convergent boundary: When two plate collide , one plate forced beneath the other, causing subduction . It results volcanic activity.

Divergent Boundary: When two plates seperates each other , new crust created. causing rifts and fissures causing eruptions.

Transform boundary: When two plates slide past one another, movement is parellel to the direction of boundary. So no convergence and no divergence. Because of movement earthquakes will come

Comparision of 3 boundaries i felt Transform plate boundary is good

Unit 4:

1. The earthquakes are caused by when rock underground suddenly break along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake.

2. When two blocks of rocks or two plates rubbing against each other, tectonic movement of plates causing earthquakes.

3. The primary tool of seismologists for location of earthquake origin is network of seismometers.

4. There are somany sesmic stations around the world to continuouslymoniter the earth surface for shaking caused by earthquake .

5.Seismograms came in handy for locating earthquakes.

3.
