My group and I have come up with similar observations and from our answers, it can be seen that a classification system can be based on where one plate boundary meets another plate boundary. This being, ocean-ocean, continent-continent and ocean-continent. We saw that for volcanoes, most of them occur at an ocean-continent boundary, therefore, we…[Read more]

1a) No, all volcanoes are not present on all boundaries.

1b) Volcanoes that occur near or at a plate boundary are distributed in a linear pattern. There are many volcanoes occurring in a small area, therefore, the dots look like lines. Although there are a lot of volcanoes in a small area, they are spread out all throughout the map. There is no…[Read more]

Windsor, I completely agree with your conclusion based on your observations. You stated that once you replaced the flapper valve, the flushing noise and the dripping noise stopped at random times. This makes it convincing that the flapper valve was faulty and was causing the noises.

Although I agree with your conclusion, in your hypothesis you…[Read more]

This was convincing that the temperature of the fridge plays a role in the freshness of the food. Further,  you put ginger paste in…[Read more]

I live in a four family house and my room is mirrored next to my cousin’s room. I live on the right side of the second floor and she lives on the left side of the second floor. I observed that my room is always warmer than her room, even though we have central heating (long strip heaters attached to the base of the wall) and our rooms have the s…[Read more]

Hey, I’m also very eager to learn about geologic processes and how they are formed. As for getting forward with your graduate degree, I wish you the best with graduate applications!

Hey, it’s great to find more females in engineering as it is a male dominated field. I think it’s awesome that you know where exactly you want to specialize in and I believe learning about environmental issues from this class will help you in your career in carbon neutral aviation. I too am looking forward to leaning more about the Earth’s…[Read more]

1. My name is Tajria Afrin and my pronouns are she/her.
2. I am majoring in mechanical engineering.
3. I am from Brooklyn and I enjoy painting.
4. I hope to get a better understanding of this planet so I am more aware of the problems on this Earth. I hope this course will help me with my future classes by giving me insight on how to design Earth…
