Mendocino, Molokai, and Galapagos are names of fracture zones in the ocean floor, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. These fracture zones are characterized by a series of faults and ridges that form due to the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. They play a significant role in shaping the geology and topography of the ocean floor.
If ground is to floor as scare is to fright.
The ground floor of the rainforest is called the forest floor. It is the lowest layer of the rainforest where little sunlight reaches, resulting in limited plant growth.
Scrubbing the floor is a physical change because the appearance or state of the floor is altered without changing the chemical composition of the materials involved.
The floor of a fireplace is typically called the hearth. It is a heat-resistant material such as brick, stone, or tile that surrounds the fireplace opening and extends into the room to protect the floor from heat and sparks.
No, the modifier "lying in pieces on the floor" does not correctly modify the subject "the broken vase was irreparable." This modifier suggests that the broken vase, not the vase itself, is lying on the floor. To correct this, you could say "The broken vase, lying in pieces on the floor, was irreparable."
The Galapagos are volcanic islands off the west coast of South America. They rise form the sea floor and are not part of any continent. They do however come under the political sovereignty of Ecuador.
yes because if you fall down hard on the ground/floor you can break/fracture a bone
Sometimes when I'm alone, I lay down on the floor and pretend I'm a carrot.
When quartz is broken it has a conchoidal fracture. Fracture is the appearance of the broken plane of a mineral. A conchodal fracture is described a being curved, and looking like broken glass.
The Galapagos Islands were formed around five million years ago when underwater volcanoes started to rise from the ocean floor, resulting in the formation of around 20 rocky islands and more than 40 islets.
A fracture zone is a group of "cracks" in the ocean floor that cut across a rift. For example, if you look at a picture of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, you'll see that there are hundreds of smaller fractures in the earth's crust that cut across the ridge. There's a great picture of the Mid-Atlantic Fracture Zone at the link below.
Yes, fracture zones can be found on the ocean floor near continental margins. They are areas of intense tectonic activity where tectonic plates slide past each other, creating fractures in the Earth's crust. These zones are often associated with transform plate boundaries.
Is your insurance covering the surgery? Was it an accident? There are cases where your transportation might be covered. The most difficult aspect will be getting to your apartment on the fourth floor, if you building does not have an elevator.
What in America is called the 'first floor' is called the 'ground floor' in Britain. The floor immediately above that is the 'first floor', what Americans would call the 'second floor'.
it means mezzanine floor, a floor which is between the ground floor and the first floor.
No, the word "floor" is not an adverb.The word "floor" is a noun ("the floor was yellow") and a verb ("I will floor him if he comes near me").
