3 Types of Plate Boundries

Divergent:

Almost all the Earth's new crust forms at divergent boundaries, but most are not known because they
lie deep under the oceans. These are zones where two plates move away from each other, allowing
magma from the mantle to rise up and make a new crust. Divergent boundaries are where the plates
move apart. Seafloor spreading is a procces in which the magma creates new land under water and this
process takes over millions of years to form a ten foot hill cause the growth ranges from two-ten
centimeters per year. The magma is buoyant and creates more ridges and an example of this is Mid-
Atlantic Ridge.

Convergent:

convergent is collision of two plates. A collision of a less dense continental plate with a more denser
oceanic plate collides with a continental plate and the ocean plate goes under the continental plate. This
takes a great deal of energy and results in the melting the continental crust, vulcanism occurs. The kinds
of volcanoes which can occur depends on the chemical composition of the magma which desides its
viscosity and there are three different types of flow one is Basaltic is wheni t makes lava plains or sheild
valcanos, Andesite is when it makes strato-volcanoes , Dacite or rhyolite is when it makes a crater such
as St. Helens.

Transform:

here two plates slide by one another in opposite directions. The San Andreas Fault is the most well-
known (and most deadly) translational interface. The two plates slides by one another along a large
scale fault. Since these are two large pieces of rock, there is a great deal of frictional coupling that
occurs. Sometimes the plates get locked in some local region and great deal of strain energy is stored in
that region. Eventually, the strain energy builds up to the point where the it is suddenly released which
creates a large scale earthquake.In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the
direction of wave propagation. one-dimensional transverse plane wave propagating from left to right.
The particles do not move along with the wave; they simply oscillate up and down about their individual
positions as the wave passes by.
Hello. My name is George Robins, and I am the candidate for the Student Council Representative. Last year members
of the Student Council did a great job by adjusting the academic schedule to our needs, organizing the clubs of
national minority students and improving the living conditions in the hostel. However, I think that the Council needs
some refreshment - new representatives are to come in and reinforce the experience of the old ones by their
enthusiasm. In my opinion, this new approach can be demonstrated by first-year students.

I was authorized by the freshmen of our university to run for the student council representative. I guess they chose
me because I was previously involved in high school council and afterwards spent one year participating in the
Freedom Support Act project for future leaders. One of my achievements was the ban of the compensation system
on PT lessons, so that our students didn't have to make up for the lessons when they were ill or absent.

To tell the truth, this "political" and leadership experience only stirred up my thirst for making the world a better
place by showing the ways to do it. For example, our university is a wonderful place to study at, but still it needs
some improvement: those who ride to the university by bicycle or on roller-skate would benefit, if the car movement
were restricted on the campus territory. Those who live in the hostel would find their life easier, had there been a
special bus connecting the hostel and the campus, so that they won't have to travel by two means of transport twice
a day. The senior students would have more time for finding a proper job, had their academic periods been
scheduled for two days instead of five. To put it in a nutshell, there is a thousand other trifles that would make our
university a sophisticated and comfortable place to study in.

The slogan for my election campaign is "FRESHMAN FOR REFRESHMENT", and as a representative of first-year
students I come out for bringing new energy and new enthusiasm to the student council. I am not going to convince
you that I am the very best candidate for this position. I am only 18; I have quite a modest track record in the school
council and participating in the cultural exchange programme for future leaders. I lack experience, but it is
compensated by zeal, an unprejudiced new approach to old things. Furthermore, I am ready to work with gusto for
your benefit. But I am not ambitious, and do not strive for authority for the sake of authority. If you elect another
candidate, I will sincerely wish him all of successes in improvement of our students' life for the better - and continue
my own struggle. But if you empower me with your confidence, I will do everything but the impossible to represent
your interests and achieve our common goals and ideals. I am sure that our aims coincide - we are all here to obtain
education that will teach us how to make the world a slightly better place. If you empower me with your trust, we
will start from solving local problems and making our university a little better place.
