Tectonic Plates
Gigantic pieces of the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle.
What is a tectonic Plate?
A person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works.
What is an engineer?
What is abiotic?
The shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
What is an earthquake?
Rapunzel’s chameleon in Tangled is called what?
Pascal!
What is continental drift?
Copy of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.
What is Biomimicry?
The natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community. Another name is consumer-resource system.
What is a food web?
The generally accepted scientific theory that considers the Earth's lithosphere to comprise a number of large tectonic plates which have been slowly moving since about 3.4 billion years ago.
What is a tectonic plate?
Which Disney character sings "Kiss the Girl"?
Sebastian!
What is Pangea?
The oldest known bridge and tend to be the simplest to design and build. They consist of vertical piers and horizontal beams.
What is a beam bridge?
The responsible use and protection of the natural environment through active participation in conservation efforts and sustainable practices by individuals, small groups, nonprofit organizations, federal agencies, and other collective networks.
What is environmental stewardship?
The energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions in the form of seismic waves like ripples on a pond. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it, and when the waves reach the earth's surface, they shake the ground and anything on it, like our houses and us!
What happens during an earthquake?
What is the name of Prince Eric's dog in The Little Mermaid?
Max!
Two plates are pushing toward each other.
What is convergent?
They were built by the Romans and have been in use ever since. They are often chosen for their strength and appearance. It is the shape of the bridge that gives the bridge its strength, which is reinforced by placing supports, or abutments, at its base. They can be built from various materials, including wood, stone, concrete, and steel.
What is an arch bridge?
A social goal about the ability of people to co-exist on Earth over a long time. Specific definitions of this term are difficult to agree on. They have varied with literature, context, and time. Experts often describe it as having three dimensions.
What is sustainability?
The world's greatest earthquake belt, the circum-Pacific seismic belt, is found along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, where about 81 percent of our planet's largest earthquakes occur. It has earned the nickname "Ring of Fire".
Where do earthquakes happen the most?
What are the names of the seven dwarfs in Snow White?
Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey!
They are mostly made of different types of basalts.
What are Oceanic plates?
These bridges were used as early as the 1500s, but the first metal one was completed in 1841. They are very strong and have been used for railroad bridges mainly because of the heavy loads that they can support. The bridge support structure which is made up of interlocking triangles, holds up the roadbed and is set between two piers. The triangle is used because it is the only shape that is inherently rigid.
What is a truss bridge?
It consists of all the organisms and the physical environment with which they interact. These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue.
What is an ecosystem?
The earthquake was a magnitude 9.5 on May 22, 1960, in Chile on a fault that is almost 1,000 miles long…a “megaquake” in its own right.
When was the largest earthquake?
What are the names of Cinderella’s stepsisters?
Anastasia and Drizella!
