The document discusses theories of the Earth's movement including continental drift and seafloor spreading. It explains that mantle convection causes lithospheric plates to move via convection currents. Hot mantle material rises and cools, sinking elsewhere, moving the plates over geologic timescales through processes like ridge push and slab pull. Plate tectonics integrates these ideas to explain volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building at plate boundaries.

This is a powerpoint that I create for an Earthquake program I did a few years ago. It is a lot of information, but I took the time to stop after each idea and demonstrate with candy. For instance, after explaining how the plates move, everyone got a small candy bar, and used it to demonstrate how plates diverge, converge, and slide; and how land forms are created as a result of how they move.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
4. In 1912, Alfred Wegener (pronounced as vey-guh-
nuh r), a German meteorologist, proposed a theory
that about 200 million years ago, the continents
were once one large landmass.
He called this landmass Pangaea, a Greek word
which means “All Earth.”
5. This Pangaea started to
break into two smaller
supercontinent called
Laurasia and
Gondwanaland during
the Jurassic Period.
These smaller
supercontinents broke
into the continents and
these continents
separated and drifted
apart since then.
8. The Seafloor Spreading Theory
According to this theory, hot, less dense
material from below the earth’s crust rises
towards the surface at the mid-ocean ridge.
This material flows sideways carrying the
seafloor away from the ridge, and creates a
crack in the crust. The magma flows out of
the crack, cools down and becomes the new
seafloor.
9. The Earth’s whole lithosphere is broken
into several rigid sections called plates
that move constantly.
16. Plate Tectonic Theory
• Plate tectonic Theory was developed in 1960s, stating
that the Earth’s lithosphere-the crust and the upper
mantle- is broken up into a several pieces called plates
that move slowly.
17. It explains how the
massive plates move
along the different types
of plate tectonic
boundaries (convergent,
divergent and transform
fault) where they interact,
and the geologic events
(earthquakes and
subduction) and geologic
features (formation of
mountains, volcanoes
and trenches) that occur
at their boundaries.
21. •A convection current
is a heat transfer
process that involves
the movement of
energy from one
place to another.
22. The convection currents tend to move a fluid, gas particles,
or molten rock. These are due to the differences in the
densities and the temperature of a specific gas or a fluid.
Due to this temperature difference, the hot fluid tends to
rise as it expands, whereas cold fluid tends to sink
because it contracts.
23. Convection current also happens in the
mantle. The mantle is the second
inner layer of Earth, made up of mostly
hot rocks and magma.
It is a very hot layer because of the heat
generated by the core. The source of
heat from the core is due to the decay
or breakdown of radioactive elements.
Mantle convection is a process by
which a thermal convection occurs in
the inner layer of the earth.
The differences of the temperature at
the Earth’s interior and surface cause
convection currents to occur within the
mantle.
24. Lithospheric plates are the
parts of the uppermost
layer of the Earth and
they are flowing in an area
called asthenosphere.
Asthenosphere is a soft,
less rigid upper part of the
mantle where the
lithospheric plates float
and move with around.
25. Plates move slowly and constantly when the hot less
dense material rises. The rising hot material cools down in
a certain area so it becomes denser than the cool dense
material sinks, that creates convection cell, with hot rising
currents and cool sinking currents are regularly repeated
and become a cycle.
26. The movement of lithospheric plate is
attributed to mantle convection and
considered as one of the driving
mechanisms for plate motion.
Lithosphere at divergent boundary will uplift
and tear apart due to the rising of hot
magma. The sinking of magma pulls down
the tectonic plate at convergent boundary.
Aside from mantle convection, ridge push,
sliding, and slab pull are other forces that
move the lithospheric plates.
27. •In the process of slab pull, the
presence of a heavier subducting plate
pulls down the trailing slab into the
subduction zone.
• In a ridge push or gravitational sliding process,
the old oceanic crust becomes heavier than the
new oceanic crust and sinks because of the
weight of the raised ridge which pushes down
the older oceanic crust towards the trench at the
subduction zone.

____a. Lithospheric plates move in the
asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of
materials.
____b. The decomposition of radioactive elements
