We came to the realization that volcanoes and likewise earthquakes usually occur with the similar patterns. Some occurring linearly around the Pacific coast and others occurring in clusters, but are relative to their location. Topography is a bit random, but most commonly there’s higher elevation around the pacific and Iceland due to the…[Read more]

We all observed the different clusters of volcanoes as well as the commonality between the location of earthquakes and the plate boundaries. Something that my peers noticed that I did not related to the age of the seafloor; the older seafloor is closer to the boundary while the younger seafloor is away from these boundaries.

It was observed that not in all plate boundaries there are volcanoes, their distribution depends on the area. Earthquakes occur at all limits. It is interesting to know that in most of the limits the age of the seabed is young and they are located in the ocean.

Not all the plate boundaries have volcanoes. Volcanoes are common along convergent and divergent plate boundaries, but are also found within lithospheric plates away from plate boundaries. Volcanoes occur on and near a plate boundary. The distribution of the volcanoes depends on the área along the Pacific Ocean basin, on the edges of the Pacific,…[Read more]

I agree that we have all commonly identified that volcanoes and earthquakes are found at plate boundaries. We have all discovered that the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes differ in that there are more volcanoes and earthquakes found in certain plate boundaries such as the Pacific Plate than other plates. In addition, volcanoes and…[Read more]

We have all found that volcanoes are found at all the plate boundaries presented to us. However, there is not an even distribution of them along every boundary. We observed some volcanoes distributed in a linear fashion, others in clusters, and areas that are very sparse in terms of volcanoes with large distances between them.
When looking at the…[Read more] -

Volcanoes
We can see that there are volcanoes at the edges of most continents and follow a pattern of being at the very edges. This makes sense since we know that a significant chunk of volcanoes occur at the boundary of tectonic plates. The ones that are close together and at the border of continents are likely from subduction zones.
V1) There…[Read more]

- Volcanoes seem to be present along all boundaries but not evenly distributed, there are regions with lots of them and some where there are barely any. Parts where the plate boundaries lie under islands or the continents seem to have the most volcanoes, while the sea parts are mostly empty. the thing I did notice is that the volcanoes appear…

- Although volcanoes are present at nearly all boundaries, there are some plate boundaries in which volcanoes are more commonly found. For example, there are more volcanoes running along the Pacific Plate than there are volcanoes running along the African Plate. The distribution of the volcanoes in high-concentrated areas such as the Pacific…

<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″>Open the map of plate boundaries and the map of volcanoes. Spend 3-5 minutes examining the pattern of volcanoes relative to the tectonic boundaries and consider the following questions:
Volcanoes are found across all plate boundaries, some having a heavier concentration of them than others such as…[Read more]

Kevin Cardenas replied to the topic Lab 3: Discovering Plate Boundaries Classifications
- Volcanoes are found at almost all the plate boundaries on Earth, however there is a significantly larger amounts at some plate boundaries over others. Where volcanoes are very common, they tend to be distributed linearly along the line of the plate boundary and are relatively close together. There are some volcanoes that form a bit farther from…

Take some time to compare your boundary classifications with those provided by others in your group and begin thinking about how you could condense these into a single classification system in which each boundary is associated with a specific pattern of earthquakes, volcanoes, to…[Read more]

Now that you have made and recorded your observations, write a brief summary to share your boundary classifications with your group. Your post should include 4 sets of classifications, one for each map, i.e., the V, E, T, and S boundaries. If you had lingering questions or ob…[Read more]

You had a really well developed theory, and you used a relatively easy way of testing evaporation in a cup full of ice cubes during a rainy day and a non rainy day. I agree its not the rain itself, but the rain acts as a catalyst for the air to collect moisture and create humidity.

Why do strawberries spoil so fast?
Every time I buy, wash, and store strawberries, I realized that strawberries tend to mold and spoil after a few days. Even though I knew that strawberries are more prone to spoilage, I did not know how to increase the shelf-life of strawberries. I did not know the answer to the following questions about my…[Read more]

I like the way you came up with the experiment to test your hypothesis — it is relatable and demonstrates the concept clearly.

I really like this lab-thought experiment. Something I took away from this were the questions you posed – I think that it allowed you to form a solid hypothesis.

Diego Silva replied to the topic Lab 2: Scientific Method
I had never thought about this topic, it’s really interesting and I agree with your conclussion. The way you would test your hypothesis is clear and a good way to get accurate results. Overall I think you did a great job, but having a picture might’ve helped too.
