The Great Rift Valley is an enormous fault line in East Africa that is approximately 4,000 miles long. It was formed by thermal bulges that fractured the Earth's crust and created spaces that were filled by sinking rock. Erosion has deepened the valley over time, creating elevations from 1,300 feet below sea level to 6,000 feet above. This geological feature influenced human evolution by causing alternating wet and dry periods in East Africa that encouraged intelligence, and it continues to shape the region's geography and climate.

The Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is an enormous fault line running through East Africa that is around 4,000 miles long. It was created by thermal bulges that fractured the Earth's crust and formed faults, with the spaces between filling with down-dropped rocks. Erosion then wore away some of these spaces. The Rift Valley varies in climate and temperature due to differences in elevation. It will continue stretching and deepening until surrounding water fills it, breaking Somalia and Africa apart and creating conditions similar to how Madagascar was formed.

The Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley formed around 20 million years ago due to the divergence of the African and Arabian tectonic plates. It stretches over 6,000 miles through East Africa and has resulted in diverse landscapes including fertile farmland, arid plains for grazing animals, and desert areas. The valley is home to 30 active or dormant volcanoes and hundreds of lakes, and features volcanic activity and high concentrations of salt in some lakes. It will eventually split the African continent into two separate landmasses.
Lecture11 earthquakes
The document discusses plate tectonics and earthquakes. It describes how tectonic plates will move in the future, changing the positions of continents and oceans. Rocks under stress from tectonic forces can fold or fault. There are three main types of faults: normal, reverse, and strike-slip. Earthquakes are caused by sudden slip along faults and produce seismic waves. The Richter scale is used to measure earthquake magnitude, with each increase of one representing a tenfold increase in wave amplitude but a 32-fold increase in energy release. For example, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake released 1.99 x 10^18 Joules of energy.

13. Continental Drift Notes
Alfred Wegner, a German meteorologist, proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, which hypothesized that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangea before breaking apart and drifting to their current locations. Wegner provided evidence from the matching shapes of continents, fossil records, rock formations, and climate but his theory was criticized because he could not explain the mechanism driving the continental movement.
Continental drift theory and seafloor spreading
The document discusses continental drift theory and seafloor spreading. Continental drift theory states that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart. Evidence for this includes matching fossil and rock formations, as well as coal deposits. Seafloor spreading theory developed by Harry Hess and Robert Dietz proposes that new ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges as the continents separate. Evidence includes the age of ocean rocks decreasing with distance from ridges and magnetic reversals in ocean crust.
Subduction zones Convection currents and continental drift
Subduction zones occur where one tectonic plate slides under another, usually around the Ring of Fire. Convection currents in the mantle cause rocks to rise and fall, powering plate tectonics at the Asthenosphere. Continental drift is when tectonic plate movements cause continents to shift positions over time, an idea first proposed by Alfred Wegener based on matching coastlines, shared rock types, and fossil evidence between continents that were once joined together in the supercontinent Pangaea.
Continental Drift Andie
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century, which suggested that the continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart. Wegener provided three main pieces of evidence to support this theory: geological evidence from rock layers across continents, fossil evidence from the distribution of fossils, and climate evidence from changing climates in the past. However, Wegener's theory was rejected by scientists during his lifetime because he could not explain the force that causes the continents to move.
Earth’s landmasses nn
There are three main types of landscapes on Earth: mountains, plains, and plateaus. Mountains form through processes like folding, faulting, and volcanism, and include landforms like mountain ranges and belts. Plains are flat lands with low elevations, and include coastal and interior plains. Plateaus are broad, flat areas that rise significantly above sea level but have flat surfaces. Common examples are provided for each landscape type.
Divergent Boundary Earth Science Shon Class J
Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics where convection currents in the mantle create magma at divergent boundaries. Sea-floor spreading occurs as new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity at mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge, helping explain continental drift. Rift valleys are large elongated depressions with steep walls formed by downward displacement of the Earth's surface between nearly parallel faults.
Continental drift
Continental drift is the slow movement of continents across the Earth's surface due to tectonic plate motions. Evidence for continental drift includes: the matching coastlines of separated continents; matching fossil, rock, and glacial deposits in separated areas; and paleomagnetic data showing continents were once joined. Alfred Wegener first proposed the continental drift theory in 1915, though it was not widely accepted until the 1960s when seafloor spreading was discovered, providing evidence of plate tectonics and explaining the driving force behind continental drift.
Plate Tectonics Lecture Chapter 2
The document discusses evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift. Fossils of the same organisms have been found in rocks from separated continents, implying the continents were once joined. Rock formations and deposits in Africa and South America also match up as if the continents were once attached. The movement of plates at mid-ocean ridges can be seen through magnetic patterns in volcanic rocks and helps explain sea floor spreading.
Tectonic Plates
The document discusses tectonic plates and their movement. It explains that tectonic plates are large plates that make up the Earth's surface and they are constantly moving against each other. When plates collide, they can form mountain ranges, and when they move apart oceans are formed as the space between fills with water. Examples are given of the formation of the Himalayas from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates and the creation of the Atlantic Ocean as plates diverged. Tectonic plate movement can cause natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.
#5.3 plate tectonics (orogeny)
Orogeny is the process of mountain building which occurs through the convergence of tectonic plates and subduction zones. Mountains can be formed by hot spots in the Earth's crust like the Hawaiian Islands, or through the convergence of oceanic plates forming island arcs, oceanic and continental plates forming volcanic mountain ranges, or two continental plates forming non-volcanic mountain ranges like fold mountains such as the Alps, Urals, and Himalayas.
Earth’s landmasses
There are four main types of landscapes on Earth: mountains, plains, plateaus, and coastal plains. Mountains form through various geological processes like folding, faulting, and volcanic activity. They can be grouped into mountain ranges, systems, belts, and include both high and low relief features. Plains are flat low-lying areas characterized by broad rivers and streams, and include coastal plains along coastlines and interior plains inland. Plateaus are broad flat areas that rise significantly above sea level, with mostly flat surfaces used often for grazing.
The Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is an enormous fault line running through East Africa that is around 4,000 miles long. It was created by thermal bulges that fractured the Earth's crust and formed faults, with the spaces between filling with down-dropped rocks. Erosion then wore away some of these spaces. The Rift Valley varies in climate and temperature due to differences in elevation. It will continue stretching and deepening until surrounding water fills it, breaking Somalia and Africa apart and creating conditions similar to how Madagascar was formed.

Africa The Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is a deep trench that runs through Africa formed around 35 million years ago by the splitting of the Earth's plates. It is approximately 3,600 miles long and ranges in width from 19 to 63 miles. The Rift Valley has mountains along its edges and contains many lakes. In the future, it may become flooded with water and form a new gulf or sea.

Time traveling alfred wegener essay
Alfred Wegener traveled through time to collect evidence to prove his theory of continental drift. He discovered that plate tectonics caused the continents to drift apart. Wegener found six key pieces of evidence to support continental drift: 1) the coastlines of continents fit together like puzzle pieces, 2) matching rock sequences and ages across continents, 3) matching diamond patterns across oceans, 4) mountain ranges torn apart by continental movement, 5) matching past glacier patterns, and 6) matching fossil distributions across continents. Wegener concluded that billions of years ago the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, which later broke apart due to plate tectonics.
Continental Drift
The document discusses evidence that supports the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1915. Some of the key evidence includes:

Ppt ch13
This chapter section discusses the composition of ocean waters. The oceans originated from early Earth's hot atmosphere that contained water vapor. As the planet cooled, this water condensed into oceans. While the water is ancient, the ocean basins themselves are only around 200 million years old due to plate tectonics. The oceans are salty because they contain dissolved salts and minerals from the erosion of land areas. Salinity, or salt concentration, varies depending on temperature, currents, and freshwater input from rain and melting ice. It is highest in warm, arid areas where evaporation leaves behind salt concentrations.
Upload undersea landscapes
This document provides an overview of undersea landscapes and ocean floor geography. It discusses key topics like:
- The three main areas of the ocean floor: continental shelves, continental slopes, and the deep ocean basin. Continental shelves typically extend 200 meters from shore and have a gradual slope. Continental slopes have a steep drop-off to the deep ocean floor.
- Features of the deep ocean floor like seamounts, guyots, trenches, and ocean ridges. Seamounts are underwater mountains and guyots are flat-topped seamounts. Ocean ridges are long mountain ranges in the middle of ocean basins.
- How sediments like oozes, clays, and muds accumulate on the ocean
Plate Tectonics Intro
This document provides an introduction to the theory of plate tectonics. It discusses the internal structure of the Earth and how the crust is made up of different types of plates. It then explains Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift from 1915 and describes the major tectonic plates. Various lines of evidence that support plate tectonics are mentioned, such as the fit of continental shelves, matching rock units and mountain ranges, and similar fossil distributions. The importance of understanding plate tectonics to explain landforms and predict natural hazards is also noted. Finally, the different types of plate boundaries are outlined, including where earthquakes and volcanoes are most common.

This also contains the different types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent and transform fault boundaries. The different geologic features that are formed in the plate boundaries were also discussed and the processes that occur in the different plate boundaries.
Journey to the end.ppt
The document summarizes a journey to Antarctica as part of an educational program called Students on Ice. The program aims to foster understanding and respect for the environment by allowing students to witness firsthand how climate change is affecting glaciers and ice shelves. The writer describes Antarctica as the windiest, coldest, and driest continent, home to 90% of the world's ice. Visiting Antarctica provides insight into Earth's history and climate, as well as a chance to appreciate the fragile balance of the planet. The experience highlights the human impact on climate change and importance of environmental protection.
Tectonics: Plate tectonics Introduction
This document discusses key evidence for plate tectonics including matching fossils, rocks, and climate patterns found in different parts of the world. It describes plate boundaries like divergent boundaries where new crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, and convergent boundaries where plates collide including ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, and continent-continent collisions. It also discusses mantle plumes and hotspot volcanism. The key takeaways are that convection currents in the mantle drive plate motions, there are three main types of plate boundaries with different associated features and hazards, and hotspots represent fixed mantle plumes unrelated to boundaries.
The sea floor
The Earth is made up of four ocean basins - Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic - which cover 71% of the planet. The ocean floor is composed of tectonic plates that are constantly shifting and spreading at mid-ocean ridges. As new crust is formed at ridges, old crust is destroyed through subduction at trenches. This process of sea floor spreading and plate tectonics explains continental drift over millions of years, from the single supercontinent Pangaea to the current configuration of lands and oceans.
The sea floor
The Earth is made up primarily of oceans that cover 71% of the planet. The oceans are divided into four major basins - Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic - as well as smaller connected seas. The structure of the Earth includes a dense iron core, swirling liquid outer core, mantle, and thin crust atop the mantle. There are differences between the oceanic crust, made of basalt, and continental crust, made of granite. Plate tectonics explains how the Earth's crust is broken into plates that move over time, causing continents to drift apart.

This process of sea floor spreading and plate tectonics explains continental drift over millions of years, from the single supercontinent Pangaea to the current configuration of lands and oceans.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
