This is my presentation on the tectonic control of sediments.
It includes the effects of tectonics either direct or indirect on sediments and sedimentation.
Sedimentation along various plate boundaries.
Few examples as evidence from Pakistan (the Siwalik Group) and Argentina (Fiambala Basin)
The continental shelf is an underwater landmass which extends from a continent, resulting in an area of relatively shallow water known as a shelf sea. Much of the shelves were exposed during glacial periods and interglacial periods

MORPHOLOGY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF CONODONT (group-D).pptxKuki Boruah
Conodonts are marine organism ranging from Cambrian to Triassic periods, having a long wormlike body, numerous small teeth and a pair of eyes.
It is now believed as the earliest vertebrate and now it is an extinct group of organism.
First identified by the LATVIAN embryologist and palaeontologist Christian Pander in 1856.
Conodonts are most frequently occuring fossil in marine Sedimentary Rocks.
Size of Conodonts commonly in between 200 microns and 5 millimetres.
The preserved color varying from translucent and colorless through light brown to black.
Microscopic animal
Microscopic Algae
Bacteria
Microfossil of uncertain effinities
Microfossil elements of smaller animal
Microfossil fragments of larger organism
Historical geology Is the branch which deals with the history of the rocks of the earth’s crust with special emphasis on their approximate time of formation and the climate changes they have undergone since their formation.

Three principle kinds of correlations
Geological interpretation of a low-backscatter anomaly found on the New Jerse...Larry Mayer
An enigmatic low-backscatter, acoustic anomaly occurs on the New Jersey continental margin between Hudson and Wilmington Canyon channels. The presence of the low-backscatter anomaly, as seen with 6.5- and 12-kHz data, indicates a change in the physical properties of the seafloor or near sub-surface. Analyses of seafloor and sub-surface acoustic data with previously collected sediment cores suggest the low-backscatter feature corresponds to an outcrop of older strata uncovered by erosion and non-deposition by the Western Boundary Undercurrent (WBUC). The decrease in backscatter strength is enhanced by the presence of gas in the sub-surface sediments found in the buried Chesapeake Drift.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Continental Margin
• That portion of the seafloor adjacent to the
continents; it may include the continental
shelf, continental slope, and continental rise.
4. Continental Slope
• The steep gradient that leads to the deep-
ocean floor and marks the seaward edge of
the continental shelf.
5. Submarine Canyon
• A seaward extension of a valley that was cut
on the continental shelf during a time when
sea level was lower; a canyon carved into the
outer continental shelf, slope, and rise by
turbidity currents.
6. Turbidity Current
• A downslope
movement of dense,
sediment-laden water
created when sand
and mud on the
continental shelf and
slope are dislodged
and thrown into
suspension.
8. Ocean Basin Floor
• Area of the deep-ocean floor between the
continental margin and the oceanic ridge.
9. Abyssal Plains
• Very level area of the deep-ocean floor,
usually lying at the foot of the continental
rise.
10. Seamounts
• An isolated volcanic peak that rises at least
1000 meters above the deep-ocean floor.
11. Mid-Ocean Ridge
• A continuous elevated zone on the floor of all
the major ocean basins and varying in width
from 1000 to 4000 kilometers.
12. Seafloor Spreading
• The process by which plate tectonics produces
new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges.
13. Key Concept
• What are the three main regions of
the ocean floor?
–The floor regions are: continental
margins, ocean basin floor, and mid-
ocean ridge.
14. Key Concept
• How do continental margins in the
Atlantic Ocean differ from those in the
Pacific Ocean?
–The Atlantic Ocean has thick layers of
undisturbed sediment cover with very little
volcanic or earthquake activity.
–The Pacific Ocean crust is plunging beneath
continental crust and experiences both
volcanic and earthquake activity.
15. Key Concept
• How are deep-ocean trenches
formed?
–Trenches are formed at sites of plate
convergence where one moving plate
descends beneath another and plunges
back into the mantle.
16. Key Concept
• How are abyssal plains formed?
–The sediments that make up abyssal
plains are carried there by turbidity
currents or deposited as a result of
suspended sediments settling.
17. Key Concept
• What is formed at mid-ocean ridges?
–New ocean floor is formed at mid-
ocean ridges as magma rises between
the diverging plates and cools.
