« on: 18/11/2010 22:41:24 »

just been reading a book.....

it said the chemical compound of quartz was SiO₂ the it said that it was one silicon atom surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms.... errrrrr

« on: 09/11/2010 22:09:55 »

so does that mean that there are plates getting smaller, wile others are expanding? or that there all growing in the same direction, so wile the plate is migrating there is an other plate to fill the, "just migrated" spot or...

am i just being an idiot in not understanding this?

yeah i,make beer, the chilling will slow the yeast down, so you wont get a continious fermentation in the bottle or vat, the only other piece of advice is cleanliness, is next to beerieness

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Do continental plates move?

« on: 09/11/2010 06:58:10 »

ok, im getting embuggeritise, the question i meant was, do the plates move? think of the conveyor belt, the belt moves,yet the thing it is on stays put, so you have a continent it moves but does the plates position change?  i think the answer is yes but cant quite get why, i can understand convection in the mantle, but if one plate moves doesnt all the rest have to budge out the way? and in the same direction as the first plate

« on: 05/11/2010 22:44:37 »

ahhyhhhhhhh.... later the embuggerance, do you talk of induction where one plate moves under another does not meen the plates move, like too convayerbelts comming together one under the other,, think like that and the land mass can move and gthe plate can be in the same place, like the super volcanio, hotspot take, yellostone park the hotspot stays in the same place but the land moves

Feel, its a wonderful thing, somthing to admire, technology does take the charm out of thing. However, doing thing by feel leads to overconfidance, and catastrophic repercussions. I still like the thumb in the air though.

I was trying to explane Continental drift and came into an inbuggerance, do the plates move or is it the land mass that moves and the plates stay put? Or is it both ? []
