In summary, this paper analyzes the high frequency Receiver Functions (RFs) to map the intra-crustal discontinuities and estimate the Poisson’s ratio and S-wave velocity beneath Jammu and Kashmir. The authors assume that the layers beneath stations are flat with isotropic structures and apply three different methods to confirm their results, however, they also need to focus on the analysis of observations to support their assumption. There are several places to improve in terms of clarity, English

solution to it. The Sorites Paradox begins with the problem that if one looks at a vague term such as a heap, at what point is it no longer a heap if you keep taking grains of sand out of it. The same can be said for cattle, if one keeps removing cattle from a herd when will it no longer be a herd. The Sorites Paradox is paradoxical because all the premises appear to be true as well as the argument being valid (the conclusion really follows from the premises); yet the conclusion appears to be

are vibrations that travel through Earth carrying energy, released during an earthquake. Those were the two main ways how scientists learned about Earth’s interior. Crust, Mantle, and Core There are three main layers on the Earth. The first is, the crust, the outer layer of Earth. It’s everywhere, on dry land and the ocean floor, however it’s

Theory Change Essay The plate tectonics theory is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth is divided into several plates that move around across the earth's surface. There are many topics that support this theory, but I think that continental drift and seismic activity help support it the best. Theories can change over time because people get new understandings of things as time goes by, new knowledge is gained with new technology, and new discoveries can be made. Continental drift is

Ms.C was a case manager at an outpatient clinic that provided a variety of services. One of her clients was Ms. R, who was receiving services as a result of a recent divorce. Ms. C had also experienced a divorce in her past and though she had effectively dealt with that experience, but found herself identifying with many comments by Ms. R. Through their work together, the two women realized they shared many common interests. They often found themselves talking about these shared interests in

on the mantle, changing in size throughout time. The lithosphere makes up the crust and upper mantle and the asthenosphere a plastic like layer beneath the lithosphere. There are three types of plate boundaries. Divergent boundaries where two plates move away from each other. The ocean widens and new crust forms at the mid-oceanic ridge. Convergent boundaries has three types of converging, moving two plates towards each other. First we have an ocean floor plate that collides with a less dense continental

as well. Different types of volcanoes are created at plate margins due to the viscosity of the lava. The two main types of volcanoes are composite volcanoes and shield volcanoes. Composite volcanoes are generally formed at destructive plate boundaries as high viscous lava is produced as less dense oceanic crust is

Why is the earth not getting larger? Poll some of the answers from the learners and begin the session. Convergent Boundary:(30 minutes) Another type of plate tectonics (when the plates crash into each other), is called convergent. This causes the earths crust to be pushed into the earths interior where it is remelted at the same rate the new crust is being made. Convergent boundaries have two kinds of surface features associated with them. With oceanic convergence a deep ocean trench is formed along

does it occur? Source 1 Pressure building up under tectonic plates An earthquake occurs when tectonic plates slide against, under, over or past each other. Tectonic plates are plates that are broken up like a jigsaw that are located in the outer layer of the Earth (see source 2). All of the water and land on the Earth sit on tectonic plates. The Earth is made up of eight major plates, Australia is located on the Indo-Australian Plate. These plates are constantly moving beneath us but the movement

Disaster Introduction On 11th March 2011 Fukushima, Japan was struck by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake which initiated a tsunami, as well as the damage of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactor, creating a nuclear disaster. Japan is located at a plate boundary region, which makes earthquakes a common occurrence. From this Fukushima suffered from environmental impacts such as the contamination of food, health conditions such as thyroid damage as well as an impact on the economy that put Japan into even
