Preparations for my geog test:

Then 2 plates move apart, they are called divergent plates. When they separate, new crust is formed. Eg; mid atlantic between north america and south america. Eurasian and African plate. Initially, huge rift valleys form on the sea floor, but as magma rises from the mantle, any possible gaps between the 2 plates are filled. The magma can produce submarine or undersea volcanoes which in time may grow above sea level. As the magma cools, it adds new land to the separating plates. Eg; Atlantis Ocean.


WHen 2 plates collide they are caled covergent plates and they will result in destructive plate boundaries. If an oceanic curst moves towards a continental crust, the oceanic crust being denser, will sink and is destroyed. Deep ocean trenches are formed. Eg; Peru-Chilean Trench. Formed at Nazca and South American Plates. As the ocean crust slips beneath the continental crust it melts, producing huge magma intrusions, batholith, which rises to build volcanoes. This process, in combination with the bending and folding of the less dense continental crust, produces characteristics mountain ranges found at destructive plate boundaries. Eg; Andes

If 2 continental crusts collide, neither sinks and fold mountains are formed. Eg, Himalayas which is a result of the Indo-Australian Plate colliding with the Eurasian plate.

The plates meet and grind past each other, moving in horizontal/vertical directions. Normally the crusts move along with relative ease, though as they snag and stall and break free, the jerky movements creates minor tremors.

All About Plate Tectonics haha b0lia0s

Sagittarius Personality
Bold, dashing and spirited. It's a bit difficult to keep pace with you - whether it is in your movements or in your speech. You like to be free as the wind that blows, quite uncaring of the effect you may have on your surroundings. You could not care less and hate being in an atmosphere that is physically or emotionally claustrophobic. Somewhat lacking in tact, your foot-in-the-mouth syndrome could do with a little thought. Nevertheless, you are honest but more than a little tactless. Sagittarians are ambitious - always aiming higher than the goal they initially set for themselves. You love challenges and are too full of energy to sit still. Although you see yourself more as a sportsperson than an intellectual, you secretly enjoy reading, writing, and exploring subjects unknown to you. You are a good learner and would do extremely well as an academician. You are quite popular, albeit a bit unconventional and are loyal to your friends. Many of you ! enjoy the patronage of influential people but unfortunately; you will also have your share of enemies who mean serious harm. You are often driven by excitement and can be a bit ungainly when in this state; sweeping gestures tend to send things flying. You are sometimes insecure and edgy. You tend to doubt your decisions and judgement. The advice is - trust your instinct. Avoid going by what people tell you if you want to succeed in your work. A word of caution though -- your instincts may not work too well when you are betting, gambling and speculating, and you may end up losing heavily

For people who are sagittarius ahah this is a detailed descriptn u mite find it useful.
Gotten frm the email tt mich send me.

Sagittarius Lover


Although affectionate and loving, Sagittarians are not apt to be too demonstrative. Not much cuddling, showering of gifts, or saying it with roses - something that may be misconstrued as lack of warmth. However, you will make it exciting enough for your beloved. Bungee jumping, mountain climbing, horse riding, going to exotic destinations... all this you will do with your partner. Besides fellow Sagittarians, you will find ideal life partners in Aries and Leo, being closer to your temperament than any other zodiac sign, only they will be able to share your excitement. Marriage with someone who is not able to keep up with your pace may be a failure, so make sure the person cuddling up tight in your roller coaster life is screaming in fun and not fear. You are a loving and playful person and though you are not prepared for children, you make a good parent; you use your enormous patience while dealing with them, giving them the respect they deserve. ! You are a risk-taker and are often attracted to danger. You should exercise caution as your family depends on you. Sagittarian homes have a distinct mark of their personality. Simply lifting ideas from elsewhere will not do for them -- they like to be a little different


Sagittarius Professional


You will do well in most occupations that require you to be outdoors. You make good sporting people. You will also succeed as teachers, lawyers, and politicians. Business and banking too are good for you. If you find your work tedious, it is simply a signal for you change to something more exciting. Jupiter, the symbol of good fortune, riches, and status, rules you. Although you will achieve most of this, it will be rather late in life. In fact, up to the age of 30, you are likely to suffer financial setbacks, mostly because of your tendency to be rash. However, you learn well from your mistakes and these monetary setbacks are not going to upset you too much. In fact, even when you are well settled financially, you will not particularly crave for landed property and assets


Sagittarius Traveller


You dislike going for a peaceful quiet holiday away from the hustle-bustle. The idea is to have fun and frolic on holidays rather than lying with a book. You are born travelers so if possible would visit all the places given in a tourist book. You are open to having a trekking and camping holiday


Sagittarius Teens


This is a young woman you can always count on, and most of the times, she is fun to be with. The Sagittarius girl never lacks company; she is bubbling with energy and ready to explore any thing. She certainly has the gift of the gab but her tendency to blurt out whatever's on her mind can land her in a mess. People around won't understand that she is simply being honest. If she finds something interesting she will simply go for it. She is not the kind to spend long hours in front of the mirror and happily shares her wardrobe with other girls. The young Sagittarius will excel at school and is likely to travel to another country for higher studies.



A Sagittarian young man is steeped in the spirit of adventure and loves to roam the world more than anything else. He dreams on a grand scale. And what is interesting -- this has a good chance of coming true! He has a fiercely independent spirit and finds it really hard to commit himself to aanything. The best thing about him is that he is open to all kinds of ideas and this wins him a lot of friends, and lovers as well. Another reason for his popularity is his carefree, fun loving nature, and the enormous generosity that he bestows on his friends. He has a lot of energy bottled up and sports provide just one outlet. The Sagittarian will spend his life chasing wild dreams

Sagittarius Kids


A happy-go-lucky kid, the Sagittarius child needs to travel all over the place and enjoy his or her freedom to the fullest. Characterised by a positive attitude to life and high energy levels, this kid gets naturally attracted to sports and has an open mind and easily mingles with a diverse group of friends, mindful of being fair and just to all of them. The Sagittarius kid is very talkative but his or her brand of candour can often spell trouble, which is of course cheerfully overlooked by most people.


Sagittarius Well Being


Sagittarians are fun loving, carefree individuals who live life to the fullest. As a result, they generally do not suffer from stress-related problems. However, most Sagittarians tend to take everything very casually, including their health. They rarely, if ever, visit a doctor, because they seldom require to. Sagittarians are the most daring and audacious of all the signs of the zodiac. They are always ready to try-out a new sport or adventure. The only problem is that Sagittarians are prone to minor strains, sprains and injuries. You will have to learn to take it easy and learn to do warm up's etc before putting your body through heavy exercises. Also, give yourself enough time to heal before embarking on any new escapades. A good diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy products should keep you on an even keel, with the occasional time out to rest and relax. A good complexion, shining eyes and a prominent nose are your distinctive fea! tures. Some of you may, however, suffer from nervous disorders. Sagittarius rules the motor functions and the lower limbs that in some cases may be vulnerable to injury.


Autumn colours like yellow, bright orange and rust browns, turquoise and a splash of purple are colours that will bring you good luck. Your lucky stones is turquoise. You are lucky with number 3. Jupiter is your ruler and your element is fire.

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day i'm loving you more than this
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus

GET THE GRAMMYS ON MON 0900 AT SG TIME!

Christina Aguilera will co-host the second annual Latin Grammy Awards next week, and Marc Anthony and Destiny's Child have signed on as performers.

Aguilera is nominated in the Record of the Year category for the song "Pero Me Acuerdo de Ti" and is in the running for Best Female Pop Vocal Album with Mi Reflejo. Her co-host for the evening will be actor Jimmy Smits, who also co-hosted last year's event.

"Bootylicious" trio Destiny's Child will join previously announced performer Alejandro Sanz on one of the Spanish singer's tunes.

Just three weeks before show time, the Recording Academy moved the ceremony from Miami to Los Angeles, citing concerns that anti-Castro protesters would disrupt the show. More than 100 Cuban-exile groups planned to protest the ceremony's inclusion of artists from the communist country (see "Latin Grammys Relocated To Avoid Miami Protests"). The show will be held at the Forum in Inglewood, California, on September 11 and will be broadcast on CBS from 9-11 p.m. (ET/PT).

Gloria Estefan, last year's co-host and big winner, has said she is upset by the move and will not attend the event. Other previously announced stars scheduled to appear include Nelly Furtado, Jennifer Lopez, Luis Miguel, Juanes, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jon Secada, Thalía, and Alejandro and Vicente Fernandez. Additional performers and presenters will be announced.

The 46th Annual Grammy Awards takes place in Los Angeles on Sunday 8th February. Radio 2 takes the opportunity to profile the awards ceremony bringing you the latest news and backstage stories courtesy of Paul Gambaccini.

The Grammys are the US music industry's version of the Oscars. It's like the Brits but more glamourous and the nominations are more diverse.

Okie right here is all about the 46th Grammy Awards
Sunday, February 8, 2004, Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
LOS ANGELES, Dec 5, 2003/ FW/ --- Huh? What happened to Beyoncé Knowles, Justin Timberlake and Missy Elliot? Oh, they’re still there, with several nominations apiece.

It is just interesting to note that Hillary Clinton is nominated for Best Spoken Word Album via her work on “Living History.”

Former President Bill Clinton, together with Mikhail Gorbachev & Sophia Loren is nominated for a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for their work “Prokofiev.”

As for Beyoncé Knowles, she earned six nominations, same with Jay-Z, Outkast and Pharell Williams.

Missy Elliott, Eminem, Evanescence, 50 Cent, Chad Hugo Ricky Skaggs, Justin Timberlake, Luther Vandross, and the late Warren Zevon garnered five each.

Among the nominees who earned four nods: Erykah Badu, Willie Nelson, José Serebrier, and Jack White.

In fact, for the 46th Grammy Awards, the nominations reflect the mainstream domination of rap and R&B, and a renewed surge in popularity of rock.

"Our voting membership highlighted truly outstanding nominees," said Neil Portnow, President of the Recording Academy, in a statement.

"Embracing both high-profile and up and coming artists, the nominations reflect talent that was both commercially successful as well as critically acclaimed. We are looking forward to putting together a stellar show that will reflect the musical, cultural, and production values that make the GRAMMYs the pinnacle of entertainment and excellence," he added.
