Description
i need someone who is really good at earth sicence to finish these assingments and gurantee me that I willl get a 100 on it.....the assingments are quite simple becuase they are projects.....you will need to finish both projects and finish them to get ME A 100..FORSURE..

Explanation & Answer
After sitting through wayyy too much traffic, I can finally get the two projects to you.
Geologic Tour of America
Hawaii
The islands of Hawaii were formed
through the eruption of several
undersea volcanoes. As the magma
cooled, new eruptions would take
place, causing a stacking effect that
eventually brought the tops of the
islands above sea level. The volcanic
hot spot that created the islands was
caused by tectonic plates moving
apart and creating a rift.
Yellowstone
Yellowstone was created from a hot
spot under Earth’s mantle which
pushed a large plume of magma up to
the surface, causing the crust to jut
upwards. Plates slowly drifting apart
create the super volcano that lies
beneath Yellowstone and keeps the
hot spot active.
plates ramming into each other and
forcing each other to slowly jut
upwards.
Appalachian Orogen
Piedmont
Piedmont as seen today is the result
of years of erosion chipping away at
ancient mountains. The original
mountains were created by tectonic
The Appalachian orogen is another
example of tectonic plates colliding to
form mountain ranges over time.
Unlike the highly eroded mountains of
Piedmont, these still stand tall.
Midcontinent Rift System
Grenville Orogen
The Grenville orogen is a system of
fold mountains that have formed on
the landscape. Like most mountains,
theses were formed through several
collisions of tectonic plates which
slowly pushed sections of the crust
upwards.
The midcontinent rift system was
formed as a result of a failed rift
creation. This initial rift was caused by
plates pulling apart, however it did not
create the full rift which is suspected to
have created another ocean or sea
had it been successful.
Stable platform
Stable platforms have some slight, but
noticeable tectonic activity. Stable
platforms are generally the result of an
earlier deformation that has become
covered over by sedimentary rock.
