WORK OF ENGLISH PLATE TECTONICS
WORK OF ENGLISH PLATE TECTONICS
Alfonso Marn Marn 1 Anatoma patolgica y citodiagnstico
Plate tectonics is the cause of continental drift and mountain building.He found the same old species on different continents.This was discovered in 1929 by Alfred Wegener.Then, He proposed the continental driftAnd the existence of Pangea
But... Why is all this happening?These plates form the continents, mountains and oceans. And they are moved by currents of molten rock, which are under the plates.
*These currents are called convection currents. And they born in the planet core.
While the plates move, push stones and mountains are forming.
The magnetic field
Geodynamics also protects us from solar radiation.
The core made of iron and nickel, rotates, and generates the magnetic field of the earth. Like a Dynamo.
The radiation that entering in the earth, is reflected as aurora borealis
The Sg3 well was closed in 1989, when workers reached 12km, they punctured a huge underground cave which had 1000 degrees Celsius.
The heat made it excavator 5km ground burst and buried workers.
The well remains closed today
Very little is known about the geodynamics.
The interior of the planet remains an enigma to humans. Although it protects us every day.
