Transform plate boundaries are when two plates are sliding past each other and when some parts get hung on each other they break away and get to move freely. this causes very rough earthquakes

Divergent plate boundaries are when mantle rises and pushes the lithosphere of the crust apart. As the magma floats upwards it cools and makes another crust

Convergent plate boundaries are when two continental crusts come together and sense they are less dense than the mantle they will never go any lower. They push against each other and creates earthquakes and mountains.

I would love to have some Scientists to connect with my students on twitter. Easy and convenient outreach. #taysci2 #taysci1

[Alec @Alec40498584]

Observations:
There were more than one fire
Waves were 6-8 meters long
It looked more like a landslide

How many people had to leave their homes?
How many people actually survived?
What strength does a tsunami have to be at to take out a building?

[Alec @Alec40498584]

@IRIS_EPO so as the magnitude gets larger the rupture gets wider?

What kinds of colors does the interferogram range consist of? #taysci2

[Sotiris Valkaniotis @SotisValkan]

Unwrapped #Sentinel1 interferogram #InSAR for Jan24 Mw6.8 #earthquake, Sivrice/Elazığ,Turkey. Color shows displacement relative to satellite (line-of-sight). Decent Processed w/DIAPASON at @esa_gep.

We are tracking (synthetic) earthquakes using S-Waves!

A brief #TaalVolcano update: the cloud-and-ash-penetrating radar systems on the Finnish @iceyefi satellite constellation have managed to peer into the heart of the volcanic island where the eruption is currently focused, and dramatic changes are afoot!

Movement of magma caused both sides of #Taal Volcano Island to bulge and as the land stretches fissures & cracks open in the ground. As measured by GPS network, the Volcano Island had been swelling except the northeastern flank which had slightly subsided - Source: PHIVOLCS

7 What is created in a supernova?
During a supernova, the star releases very large amounts of energy as well as neutrons, which allows such as uranium and gold to be produced. #taysci1

6 What is the mass of the object at the center of the Crab Nebula?
The pulsar at the center of the Crab Nebula is to be only 18 miles in diameter. But has at least 1.5 times the mass of the sun

[Alec @Alec40498584]

5 What is now at the center of the Crab Nebula?
At the center of the nebula lies the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star 28–30 kilometers across. Also gives off gamma and radio waves. #taysci2

[Alec @Alec40498584]

4 How and when did the object in space we now call the Crab Nebula form?

Hubble Space Telescope image assembled from 24 individual wide field and planetary camera. two exposures taken in October 1999, January 2000, and December 2000

3 Why are supernovae important?
Supernovae add enriching elements to space clouds of dust and gas, further interstellar diversity, and produce a shock wave that compresses clouds of gas to aid new star formation. #taysci2 #astrophysics

[Alec @Alec40498584]

2 How does a star become a supernova?
Having too much matter causes the star to explode, resulting in a supernova. As the star runs out of nuclear fuel, some of its mass flows into its core. Eventually, the core is so heavy that it collapses on itself #taysci2 #astrophysics
