If there are many seconds between the flash of lightning and the roar of thunder, it indicates that the storm is far away. Each second of delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder represents a distance of about 1 mile between you and the lightning strike.
It is difficult to provide an exact number of paper plates that go to landfills in Canada due to variations in usage and disposal practices. However, it is estimated that millions of paper plates are thrown away annually, contributing to environmental waste and landfill burden. Efforts to promote sustainable alternatives and recycling can help reduce this impact.
You can generally determine how far away you are from the place of origin by counting 1 one-hundred, 2 one hundred, etc until you hear thunder and divide that number by two. That is how many miles away you are.
Tectonic plates can move in four main directions: convergent (towards each other), divergent (away from each other), transform (side by side), and oblique (combination of directions). These movements are driven by the Earth's internal heat and the circulation of molten rock in the mantle.
When two plates slide apart from each other, it is known as divergent boundaries. As the continent splits, a ridge forms at the spreading center, stretches the ocean basin, causing it to expand and the plate area increases causing many small volcanoes or light earthquakes.
