The observations suggest that boundaries can be classified by where plates are meeting with other plates. At Ocean-Continent boundaries, where plate boundaries are meeting on the coast of a continent, there is a high concentration of volcanoes and earthquakes occurring in a curvilinear pattern along the line of the boundary. At these boundaries…[Read more]

1a. No, they are present at all but not all of the boundaries. 

1b. They are more densely concentrated along some boundaries and occur in linear or curved patterns. At the boundaries where the volcano distribution is most concentrated and linear, the volcanoes occur on top of the boundary. The volcanoes that are more spread out from each…[Read more]

Windsor, based on your observations and the lack of flushing noises after changing the flapper valve, I agree that your hypothesis is supported by your observations. The effect of changing the flapper valve is the most compelling evidence supporting your claim because the immediate result of this action was the end of the sound, meaning it was…[Read more]

Afrina, based on the additional observation about the hypothesis, I would agree that it is partially but not completely supported by the results of your experiment. Ginger paste and the temperature of the refrigerator are both variables that affect the shelf life of the food, but temperature can also affect how much ginger paste is required. It…[Read more]

When I went to water them earlier this week I noticed that the leaves of the plants by the windows were drooping and…[Read more]

Yay another Latina ME 🙂 Bioluminescent beaches are so pretty! Have you ever seen one in person?

Hiking is so nice. At Watkins Glen State park they give walking tours and explain how the gorges were formed, super interesting history.
