Some of the major tectonic plates are the North American, African, and Antarctic plates. There are only a few major tectonic plates. There are three different boundaries that are formed when the plates move.
That is very informative! It explains the earth in a better and more interesting way. I learned a lot more about the earth along with some very interesting facts.
This is very informative. The tectonic plates are moving right under our feet! This website tells you how mountains are formed and how the earth moves.
This was a very good article about the movements of tectonic plates. One of the most interesting facts that I had learned from reading the article was that the tectonic plates make up earths outer shell called the lithosphere. There were also many different things that I didn't know about such as that if the plates keep diverging in the Great Rift Valley in Africa, millions of years from now, eastern Africa will split apart from the continent creating a new continent. the three different types of Tectonic Boundaries are called convergent, divergent, and transform.
This is a really useful website about future climate change and what is expected to happen with global warming up until the year 2099. It has a bunch of helpful diagrams and written information as well.
Climate change will have many affects of our world climate in the future. Rain pattern are expected to change drastically and that means that Colorado could have lots of rain and places like Maine would have arid climates. The Earths average temperature will rise, which isn't something new but this means that oceans will rise so much that they will flood islands and kost likeley the keys. Along with the increased sea level the Earth will get a higher pH in the oceans. Many areas that have used their climate to grow crops or do certain activities will face an impending change. Crops will die in places that turn cold. Melted snow runoff in the himilayas might flood village's. All of these changes depend upon the amount of greenhouse gases are admitted into the atmosphere. Natural features may play a role to. Say, a volcano eruption, could possibly speed up the process in said area of eruption. Overall many factors play into the climate change of the world and in the future bad consequences might come of the greenhouse gases that are going into the atmosphere.
