I’m a highschool student-Middle Tennessee. I’ll be using this for my science class :)

@PBurrato Can you explain to me If the crust is at max around 45 miles deep, how are we able to have Earthquakes between 500-800 km below the surface? #taysci2

Continental Crust-Oceanic Crust
What are they? How are they diff.?

Transform Plate Boundaries
The plates slide past each other; the pressure underneath gives way and the pressure and energy is released, it forms volcanic mountains or islands.

[Keeli @KeeliB_Sci]

Divergent Plate Boundaries
Crust is generated as the plates pull apart from each other; formed by the rising plume of a mantle convection cell and can create a rift valley or a new sea floor. This seperation process is very slow(fingernail growth)

Convergent Plate Boundaries
Oceanic-Continental:pushes up together &forms mountains&volcanoes
Continental-Continental:does not cause subduction because they are the same density
Oceanic-Oceanic:push together, but pushes down& forms trenches

However, that is a lot to hope for, given the number of countries with infections, and the likely number of missed cases, says epidemiologist @mlipsitch #covid19

[New Scientist @newscientist]

This could mean that the #covid19 epidemic will sputter out, especially if we can limit super-spreading events, reports @debmackenzie1 https://t.co/yLeXhiBsS9

[New Scientist @newscientist]

The number of new #covid19 cases reported daily seems to be declining in China, and elsewhere, the virus is infecting fewer people than expected https://t.co/6Iay81m77p

@patton_cascadia Where exactly in the world is this particular plate boundary? It seems to be very active. #taysci2

@seismo_steve @IRIS_EPO That's a neat poem, it brings a little fun to science! Also nice figure. #taysci2

Questions of 2011 Tsunami
-How is a tsunami formed?
-How many casualties were there?
-Why would they close airports if they can get people away from the tsunami using the planes?
-How fast was the tsunami?

Observations of 2011 Tsunami
-caused by an earthquake
-Wave range was 6-10 meters high
-tsunami ran upstream
-more than 4 million building lost power in surrounding cites

[Keeli @KeeliB_Sci]

@IRIS_EPO If two earthquakes start near each other, can they create a more powerful earthquake? Like when the two waves meet and collide?#taysci2

[Keeli @KeeliB_Sci]

@ffloresm @IRIS_EPO Is there any other form of technology to measure earthquakes effectively side by side,possibly more advanced? #taysci2

@the_zooniverse Today i'm working on a citizen-science project on zooniverse, working to transcribe data in hopes of better understanding the nesting patterns of North American birds by collecting the latitude and longitude on the nesting locations of this collection. #taysci2

@patton_cascadia @earthquakeguy Thanks Jay! That really help out putttthings into perspective for me! #taysci2

[Keeli @KeeliB_Sci]

@earthquakeguy That's awesome! Thanks for replying #taysci2

[Keeli @KeeliB_Sci]

Within the past 30 days, there has been 160 earthquakes in the Continental U.S. #taysci2 #earthquakes

@DrLucyJones Which fault is showing the most activity here? And if 2 fault lines are close together, could that area have more earthquake activity, or amplify a single earthquake? #taysci2
