The richter scale is used to determine how strong the earthquake is (magnitude) of the earthquake. it touches the ground and feels the earth shaking. with the momentum of the earth shaking the device the needle on the device moves creating a wave looking line. according to the theory of plate tectonics, what happens at transform, divergent and convergent boundaries? on which of these boundary types would a volcano most likely take place, and why?

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
