Anyways, on the bright side, I’m on my way to the Caribbean! Right now I’m in the airport, sipping a mocha and writing my blog. I decided I didn’t want to spend my time learning anything on the Caribbean since I spend so much time learning and studying as it is. Don’t get me wrong - I love learning, but I need to learn how to relax ;). So to free up my time in the sun, I asked around the airport and luckily, I stumbled upon a science team traveling to the International Science is Fun (ISF) competition. They answered ALL my questions perfectly.
So the first thing about the Caribbean Volcanic Arc is that it’s located where the eastern margin of the Caribbean plate and the South American plate make contact. The South American plate subducts under the Caribbean plate. This subduction forms the volcanic islands of the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc, which stretches from the Virgin Islands off to the coast of Venezuela. This boundary contains seven active volcanoes!
I leave in about one and a half hours. Hopefully this time I don’t have to sit next to someone who smells like a wet goat (like I had to last time). Anyways, I’m so psyched for this trip! Almost makes me more happy than getting a new prestige from a high-roller wager match in black ops :)
dude this is absolutely great
ReplyDeleteHilarious, I like the paragraph about the Xbox.

Also, nice information about the tectonic plates!
